3 Installed per ASTM C636. For other installations including sloped or curved ceilings consult USG architectural guidelines outline the design considerations, test results, and construction details for the installation of each USG Exterior Ceiling system. USG Exterior assemblies were tested per UL 580, UL 1897, TAS 202, and TAS 203, and listed in PEI Evaluation Report, more information about UL Standards, please visit more information about Florida Building Code Testing Application Standards (TAS), please visit The Paraline II closed-reveal linear metal Ceiling is the Paraline system appropriate for Exterior Ceiling Exterior Ceiling SYSTEMS 5 Exterior Ceiling ApplicationsWIND DESIGN NOTESM iles Per Hour (mph) versus Pounds Per Square Foot (psf)ASCE 7-16, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, American Society of Civil Engineers/Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE/SEI), contains a formula that converts wind speed into static pressure.

4 The formula is a comprehensive approach to include factors such as height or location of the building or directionality of wind loads affecting the structure expressed as:qz = KzKztKdV2qz = velocity pressure evaluated at height z above the ground (psf) Kz = velocity pressure exposure coefficient Kzt = topographic factor Kd = wind directionality factor V = basic wind speed (mph)All the test results presented in this GUIDE were achieved by measuring the maximum pressure that the system can withstand. The formula above provides guidance on how to estimate the wind speed correlating to the particular pressure. Because the factors (Kz, Kzt, Kd) are project specific, they were conservatively estimated to be equal to one. Therefore, the simplified formula to estimate wind speed based on given pressures is as follows:V = load provisions of ASCE 7-16 are recognized in the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) and the 2018 International Building Code (IBC).

5 The information presented is correct to the best of our knowledge at the date of issuance. Because codes continue to evolve, check with a local official prior to designing and installing a Ceiling system. Other restrictions and exemptions may OVERVIEWWIND PRESSURE TEST METHODS USG Exterior assemblies were tested for both uplift (positive) and downward (negative) pressures. The positive values represent uplift capacity and the negative values represent downward capacity. Testing for both positive and negative pressures offers a more complete assessment of the performance of USG assemblies. It also allows USG to evaluate and certify the comparative resistance of USG assemblies to both positive and negative pressures. With the publication of this thorough wind load assessment, design professionals can be assured USG Exterior assemblies satisfy the most stringent performance requirements and design Exterior Ceiling SYSTEMS 6 Linear Metal Ceiling SystemsPARALINE II(See page 9) One part system - pans with integral closed reveal.
