the cavity side for leakage
during 30 minutes of testing
+ Intended to simulate
exposure during
construction (Some
membranes can be exposed
for up to 6 months)

CAPILLARY TESTING
+ Capillary Testing• Test protocol devised to sandwich barrier between wet “cladding” and dry “sheathing” material
+ Sandwich configuration• Plexi-glass plate
• Paper indicator
• WRB
• “Cladding” was dipped into water to wet all surfaces, removed, and then assembled in the sandwich
+ Testing identified WRB products which do not pass test for any length of time
