Hail Resistance of Roofing ProductsBuilding Research Division, U.S. Institute for Applied Technology, 1969 - 9 pages A test was developed for evaluating the hail resistance of roofings, in which synthetic hailstones (ice spheres) of various sizes were shot at roof assemblies at their free-fall terminal v * elocities.Indentations, granule loss and roofing fracture were observed.The principal conclusion is that:All roofing materials have some resistance to hail damage, but as the size of the hail increases, a level of impact energy is reached at which damage occurs.This level lies in the range of 1 1/2 to 2 inch (3.8-5.1 cm) hailstones for most prepared roofings.(Author). |
