Testing Phase:
The test shows air pressure building up within the structure that causes lift in the roof. The trusses are not fastened down and the test is relying solely on the Stormtech System™. The plastic is intentionally left loose on the outer rim of the structure to avoid tearing while testing.
Testing Phase:
A level, as shown in this photo, was used to measure lift during the testing process.
Testing Phase:
The testing included three cameras within the structure and two cameras outside the structure. Air pressure gauges were used to show pounds of pressure per square foot inside the structure.
Testing Phase:
The monitors reflect the images from the three internal cameras. One camera was used to record the dynometer reading of which showed cable tension in the ridge. The second camera was used to show any anchor movement. The third camera was used to show truss movement from the wall, if any.
Test Results:
The test results were very successful and reflected that the Stormtech System™ will withstand a 165 mile an hour wind of which surpassed the wind speeds of most wind storms. Under this test load, the pressure utilized approximately 1/2 of the system's capabilities.
