Water Testing

All water tests are designed to meet the requirements of the AAMA-502 standards for testing windows.

Isolation Testing:
Installation is isolated from the window product to assist in determining specifically where a leak may occur. Isolationg the window product from the installation saves time in determining failure points during the testing.

An air chamber is constructed to provide the equivilence of the differential pressure on the inside of structure and the outside air pressure. Vacuums are used to create this scenario. This also assists in maintaining the accurate test pressure protocol required by the manufacturer to construct the window product.

 

Boroscopic inspection:
Boroscopic inspection tool serves a unique and useful purpose. Some leaks may occur in areas that are extremely difficult to view during the spray test. The use of boroscopic tools allows us to view areas that would be impossible to view and identify the location of the leak without removal of the test chamber.
