30 Structural Loading Once determined, the design wind load directs the key performance considerations. First and foremost among these is structural loading.
Minimum Performance Requirements Listed by Class 31 Window/Door Classes Design Pressure (psf) Structural Test Pressure (psf) R 15 22.5 LC 25 37.5 CW 30 45 AW 40 60 NAFS-08 and its predecessors require that the window or door withstand a wind pressure test load, applied per ASTM E 330, of one and a half times the design pressure (in psf - not mph) for its class, which we just determined from the ASCE map and table. For example, the uniform load test pressure for a CW class window - whose minimum design pressure is 30 psf - would be 45 psf.
