ASTM E514
Full Name
ASTM E514 – Standard Test Method for Water Penetration and Leakage Through Masonry
Scope
This laboratory test method provides a procedure for determining the resistance to water penetration and leakage through unit masonry subjected to wind-driven rain.
This test method is not identical to and the results are not the same as field standard Test Method C1601. This test method measures through-wall water penetration, whereas Test Method C1601 only measures surface water penetration.
