Field Testing

ASTM E783 — Field Measurement of Air Leakage Through Installed Assemblies

ASTM E783 is the standard field method for measuring air leakage through installed exterior windows, curtain walls, and doors under a specified pressure differential.

What it measures

Air infiltration and exfiltration rate through an installed assembly at a set pressure.

When to use it

Used whenever air leakage of an installed assembly must be quantified — energy performance, comfort complaints, or spec compliance.

Frequently asked

Is ASTM E783 a water test?
No — E783 measures air leakage. For water penetration, ASTM E1105 is used, often on the same assembly.
