Water entry tests were performed on the specimens in a vertical orientation and completed in NRC's Dynamic Wind and Wall Test Facility (DWTF). Water entry tests consisted of spraying the specimens with water at a deposition rate of 3.4 L/min-m² at pressure differences of 0, 50, 75, 150, 300, 700, 1 250, 1 500 and 2 200 Pa. The deposition rate was administered using solenoid actuated hydraulic nozzles which allow for low flow rates to be evenly spread across the entire specimen surface.

Benchmark specimen consists of 18-regular gauge 41 mm × 92 mm × 1.12 mm steel stud, 12.7-mm-thick glass-mat gypsum board, "SOPRASEAL STICK 1100 T" self-adhering membrane, 50-mm-thick mineral fibre insulation and "PUCCS NC Mechanical Fasteners."

Footnote 5

On this specific specimen, it was decided to conduct two further replications of the test protocol were completed with elevated water deposition rates. The first increased deposition rate was 7.5 L/min/m², and the second was 20.5 L/min/m². In both of these increased tests, this specimen showed no water entry rates, and not until pressures of 1 500 Pa. However, the resulting water entry at these extreme water deposition rates and applied pressures were less than 6 grams. This result is considered insignificant.
