Test Performed And Test Results
Testing of samples by RDH Building Engineering Ltd, USA
Air Leakage Rate and Water Ingress Resistance Tests
These tests were performed by constructing a wall of 1994 mm x 2032 mm using light weight EPS by Plasti-Fab Advantage ICF as formwork for the steel reinforced 150 mm thick concrete A 584 mm x 584 mm fixed window was installed within the wall assembly.
Air Tightness Test in accordance with ASTM E283
When tested to the standard of ASTM E283 at a pressure differential of 75 Pa, the specimen, as prepared, achieved an Air Leakage Rate per fixed area (qA) of less than 0.0039 L/s.m2.
Water Ingress Resistance Test in accordance with ASTM E331
When tested to the standard of ASTM E331, no water ingress resistance was observed through the specimen at differential pressures of 150, 300, 700, 1400 & 5000Pa
Engineering Evaluation of Logix ICF Water Vapour Transmission
Test by Intertek Testing Services NA Ltd., USA
Intertek has conducted an engineering evaluation of Logix Insulated Concrete Forms Ltd, on Logix ICF to determine if the Logix ICF meets the 2005 National Building Code as a vapour barrier The analysis showed that Logix ICF meete the water permeance requirements and can be installed without a vapour barrier
