Density: 48 kg/m3 (3.0 pounds/cubic foot) minimum determined in accordance with the
procedures specified in ASTM D1622.
Humid Age Exposure: There shall be no more than 6 percent increase in volume when a
sample of the insulated metal panel is subjected to a humid aging environment at 100 per-
cent relative humidity and 49.9°C (120 F) for periodic volume checks at 7, 14, and 28
days.
Heat Exposure: There shall be no more than 5 percent increase in volume when a sam-
ple of the insulated metal panel is subjected to an elevated temperature environment at
82.2°C (180 F) for periodic volume checks at 7, 14, and 28 days.
Water Absorption of Foam Core: The relative weight increase due to water absorption,
when a sample of the insulated metal panel is immersed, shall be no greater than 4 per-
cent when tested in accordance with the procedure specified in ASTM C272.
Fatigue Test: Panels shall withstand a deflection cycling of 1.5 million cycles at 0.96 kPa
(+20 psf) simulated wind load with no delamination of failure of the foam core.
14.8 INSPECTION
Examine supporting structure and conditions under which the work is to be erected, and
notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of conditions detrimental to proper and timely comple-
tion of the work. Do not proceed with erection until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected.
14.9 INSTALLATION/ERECTION
General
Complete installation of all work under this Section shall be by the MANUFACTURER, or
by an installer pre-approved by the MANUFACTURER.
Do not cut, trim, weld, or braze component parts during erection, in a manner which would
damage finish, decrease strength, or result in a visual imperfection or a failure in perform-
ance of wall panels. Return component parts which require alteration to the shop for re-
fabrication, if possible, or for replacement by new parts.
Metal separation: Apply a coat of bituminous paint, concealed on one or both surfaces
wherever dissimilar metals would otherwise be in contact. Use gasketed fasteners where
needed to eliminate the possibility of corrosive or electrolytic action between metals.
Anchor component parts of the metal wall securely in place, providing for necessary ther-
mal structural movement.
Sealing materials shall be used in strict accordance with the MANUFACTURER'S written
instructions, and shall be applied only by installers specially trained or experienced in their
use. Before applying sealant, all mortar, dirt, dust, moisture and other foreign matter shall
be completely removed from surfaces it will contact. Adjoining surfaces shall be masked
when required to maintain a clean and neat appearance. Sealing compounds shall be
tooled to fill the joint and provide a smooth finished surface
Tolerances: Provide adjustment within curtainwall to accommodate variations of existing
structure. Deviation from established vertical, horizontal, or designed position must not
exceed 6 mm (1/4") per 305 mm (12") of length of any member of 13 mm (1/2") in any total
run in any line.

14.10 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

Field Check for Water Leakage
Upon completion of the installation the wall shall be checked for water penetration in ac-
cordance with AAMA Standard 501, Field Check of Metal Curtainwalls for Water Leakage.
The CONTRACTOR will designate an area to be so checked.
14.11 CLEANING AND PROTECTION
Remove from site debris, excess materials and equipment at the completion of the work
and legally dispose of.
Make sure weep holes and drainage channels are unobstructed and free of dirt and seal-
ants.
