Determination of the uplift resistance of installed clay and concrete interlocking tiles for roofing. Test method for mechanical fasteners
This Technical Specification specifies a test method for determining the strength and uplift resistance of fasteners for clay and concrete interlocking tiles for roofing.
NOTE 1 The results of this test may be used to determine the uplift force which can be withstood by the fastener; e.g. to withstand wind force.
NOTE 2 When the results of the test method for mechanical fasteners have a correlation to the results of the roof system test method [EN 14437], they can be used to establish the uplift resistance of installed clay and concrete tiles for roofing.
The test method is applicable to mechanical fasteners such as:
It is not applicable to fasteners which hold down more than one tile.
