Historical Standard: ASTM C1569-03 Standard Test Method for Wind Resistance of Concrete and Clay Roof Tiles (Wind Tunnel Method)
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C1569
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a procedure to determine the resistance of concrete and clay roof tiles to simulated wind effects in a wind-tunnel apparatus. Simulated wind velocities of 70 mph (31 m/s) to 130 mph (58 m/s) are employed.
1.2 The values stated in inch pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are given for reference only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
