  • standard by Steel Door Institute, 2008
  • Publisher: SDI

$13.00$25.00


This standard provides procedures for testing and establishing load ratings (design pressure in pounds per square foot or design load in pounds force) for components of exterior swinging door assemblies for purposes of protection of openings during severe windstorm conditions, such as a hurricane, that produces sustained wind speeds or gusts in a range of 110 to 170 miles per hour as defined by ASCE 7. It is not intended to simulate wind forces generated by tornadoes.

The procedures cover all components normally assembled to form an exterior swinging door system. This includes door frames, hardware mullions, thresholds, frame anchorage, hinges, lock-sets, latches and bolts, doors, sidelights, transoms and glazing systems. This procedure applies to both single swing and pair assemblies and also includes procedures for testing and rating components for both in-swing and out-swing installations.
