AAMA is a simple, economical water spray quality assurance and diagnostic method for finding leaks in fully installed, permanently closed (non-opera-ble) glazing. It is not appropriate for testing operable windows and doors and does not simulate the effects of wind-driven rain. • AAMA ,Voluntary Speci-.

AAMA requires between 30 and 35 psi at the nozzle to properly run the test. A supply measuring 50 psi at the source is recommended. Another common incorrect application of AAMA or involves performing water testing at a uniform pressure higher than the fenestration product was designed to experience during wind-driven rain events. AAMA is often the most effective way to be able to test these types of assemblies. Water penetration testing in the field consists of utilizing a portable wind generator paired with a spray-rack system at the exterior of the wall assembly. An example of such technology is Intertek-ATI's WOLF. This type of. 1 AAMA FIELD TESTING FOR WATER LEAKAGE This test method simulates wind-driven rain in small segmented areas using a standard garden hose in which a calibrated nozzle is attached with a pressure gauge. The spray is directed at a specific joint, crack, or defect to reveal potential moisture intrusion. 1. SCOPE AND PURPOSE This field check is intended to determine the resistance to water.

AAMA The AAMA (Quality Assurance and Diagnostic Water Leakage Field Check of Installed Storefronts, Curtain Walls, and Sloped Glazing Systems) is designed to aid in the water-tight testing of large glass areas meant to be permanently closed, such as store fronts, curtain walls, and sloped glazing systems.
