About this file

This is a technical specification document for steel windows required at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, issued in April 2019.

The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for the design, fabrication, and installation of steel windows for federal construction projects. Key material requirements include steel framing materials with minimum 10 percent post-consumer or 20 percent post-industrial recycled content, compliance with ASTM standards for sheet steel (ASTM A1011/A1011M), zinc coating (ASTM A653/A653M and A123/A123M), and fasteners (ASME B18.6.3). Non-residential glazed systems must achieve NFRC certification with a maximum Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.30 and U-factor of 0.46 Btu per square foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit. Windows must undergo testing per ASTM E283 and E331 to demonstrate maximum air infiltration of one-half cubic foot per minute per foot of crack length at 1.56 pounds per square foot pressure and zero water infiltration. Mullion and transom bar members must withstand uniform wind loads of 20 pounds per square foot without deflecting more than 1/175 of span per ASTM E330/E330M. Windows require fire-rated certification per Underwriters Laboratories standards, insect screens with vinyl-coated glass yarn (ASTM D3656/D3656M), and either shop-primed or factory-finished coatings. Installation must include hot-dip galvanized steel anchors spaced not more than 18 inches apart with minimum three anchors per side, weatherstripping, hardware with stainless steel or bronze components, and proper sealing with manufacturer-recommended mastic. Contractors must submit shop drawings, product data, test reports, and color coating samples for government approval, with sample windows required for each type proposed.
