The first stated value is the requirement. SI units as employed are in accordance with the American National Standard for Metric Practice, ANSI/ASTM E380. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 3. General 3.1 The glazing material shall have the com- position and be fabricated in a uniform manner such as to assure the necessary strength and durability when tested in accordance with these requirements. 3.2 There shall be no defects or visible imperfections in the finished product which may impair its serviceability. PERFORMANCE 4. General 4.1 Representative samples of each design of glazing material shall be subjected to the following tests: 4.2 A minimum of 37 samples of each design, 24 by 24 inches (610 by 610 mm), are to be used. The samples shall be fully representative of pro- duction glazing material. 4.3 If in any of the following Impact Tests, see Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7, the steel ball falls outside of the 5 inch (1.27 mm) diameter circle or if the test sample is damaged in handling, the results are to .be considered inconclusive and the test(s) is to be repeated using a reserve sample. 5. Multiple Impact Test 5.1 The glazing material shall be capable of withstanding five 50 foot-pound (68 J)impacts, as produced by dropping a 3-1/4 inch (83 mm) diameter hardened smooth steel ball, weighing 5 pounds (2.3 kg) through a vertical distance of 10 feet (3 m). 5.2 The test shall be conducted on 10 samples of the glazing material maintained at room temperature, 70-80° F (21-27°C). 5.3 The samples of the glazing material are to be mounted horizontally ~n a frame so as to provide uniform clamping on all four edges of the material with an unsupported area of 22 by 22 inches (560 by 560 nam). 5.4 The frame is to be constructed of 2 inch (51 mm) steel angles, at least .1/4 inch (6.4 nam) thick, welded at all four comers to form a rigid square. The square is to be supported by steel members, at least 8 inches (205 mm) high, at each of the four corners. The entire assembly is to be mounted on a solid wood platform formed of 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) plywood. The four clamping members are to be of the same steel angle as used in the frame. 5.5 The part of the frame and clamping members coming in contact with the test sample is to be lined with hardwood stripping. The wood shall be covered with rubber or felt stripping approximately 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick. At least two clamps shall be used on each of the four sides to secure the test sample between the frame and the clamping members. 5.6 The steel ball shalI be released so as to strike each sample successively at five different. locations within a 5 inch (127 mm) diameter circle, whose center is to be located at the approximate center of the sample. Except for retrieving the steel bail, or resecuring the clamps, the test sample shall not be disturbed. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORDINANCE NO. [Ill'ill 825-80 ADOPTED July 2, 1980 , 1980 CE,~ ~ ~/~i. RECORDS No., 6 BUR( .Y RESISTING GLAZING MATERIAL -- UL 972 MARCH 28, 1978 5.7 The steel ball shall not penetrate the glazing materiM on any one of the five impacts on 9 of the 10 samples tested. Penetration occurs when the ball passes completely through the glazing material. 6. Thermal Conditioning Test For Outdoor Use 6.1 The glazing material shall be capable of withstanding five 40 foot-pound (54J)impacts, as produced by dropping a 3-1/4 inch (83 mm) diameter hardened smooth steel ball, weighing 5 pounds (2.3 kg), through a vertical distance of 8 feet (2.4 m) following thermal conditioning of the material. 6.2 The test shall be conducted on 10 samples of the material conditioned at a temperature of 120°F (49°C), and on 10 additional samples conditioned at a temperature of 14°F (minus 10°C). All samples shall be conditioned at the specified temperatures for at least 4 hours prior to this test. 6.3 Immediately upon removal from the con- ditioning chamber the samples are to be mounted in accordance with the requirements detailed by paragraph 5.3 and tested in accordance with the test method detailed by paragraph 5.6. 6.4 The steel ball shall not penetrate the glazing material on any one of the five impacts on 9 of the 10 samples tested. Penetration occurs when the ball passes completely through the glazing material. 7. Thermal Conditioning Test For Indoor Use 7.1 The glazing material shall be capable of withstanding five 50 foot-pound (68 J)impacts, as produced by dropping a 3-1/4 inch (83 mm) diameter hardened smooth steel ball, weighing 5 pounds (2.3 kg), through a vertical distance of 10 feet (3 m) following thermal conditioning of the material. 7.2 The test shall be conducted on 10 samples of the material conditioned at a temperature of 95°F (35°C), and on 10 additional samples con- ditioned at a temperature of 55°F (13°C). All samples shall be conditioned at the specified temperatures for at least 4 hours prior to this test. 7.3 Immediately upon removal from the con- ditioning chamber, the samples are to be mounted in accordance with the requirements detailed by paragraph 5.3 and tested in accordance with the test method detailed by paragraph 5.6. 7.4 The steel ball shall not penetrate the glazing material on any one of the five impacts on 9 of the 10 samples tested. Penetration occurs when the ball passes completely through the glazing material. 8. High-Energy Impact Test 8.1 The glazing material shall be capable of withstanding one 200 foot-pound (270 J) impact, as produced by dropping a 3-1/4 inch (83 mm) diameter hardened smooth steel ball, weighing 5 pounds (2.3 kg), through a vertical distance of 40 feet (12.1 m). 8.2 The test shall be conducted on three samples of the glazing material maintained at room temperature, 70-80° F (21-27°C). 8.3 The samples are to be mounted in accor- dance with the requirements detailed by paragraph 5.3. 8.4 The steel ball shall be released so as to strike each sample once at the approximate center of the sample. 8.5 The steel ball shall not penetrate the glazing material. Penetration occurs when the ball passes completely through the glazing material. MARKING 9. Content 9.1 The finished glazing material panel shall be plainly marked with the manufacturer's or private labeler's identification or a distinctive catalog number or the equivalent by which the product may bc readily identified. 9.2 The marking may be located on the pro- tective covering or package of the glazing material panel(s) as shipped from the factory. 9.3 If a manufacturer produced glazing material at more than one factory, each finished glazing material panel shall have a distinctive marking to identify it as the product of a particular factory.
