Since engineering controls may not eliminate all possibleexposures, attention is often placed on reducing the potential for direct skin contact through the useof protective clothing that resists permeation, penetration, and degradation.This test method is used to measure the resistance

Resistance to permeationand penetration under conditions of continuous contact should be determined by Test Methods F739and F903, respectively. In certain situations, the pe

Summary of Test Method4.1 The permeation of chemical(s) through a protectiveclothing material is assessed by measuring the breakthroughdetection time, standardized breakthrough time, and subse-quent permeation rate through replicate specimens of thematerial intermittently contacte

35、d with the chemical.4.2 In the permeation test apparatus, the protective clothingmaterial specimen partitions the test chemical from the collec-tion medium.4.2.1 Contact of the test chemical with the clothing materi-als outside surface is made intermittent by periodically addingand removing the test

36、 chemical from the test chemical chamberof the test cell.4.2.2 The collection medium is analyzed quantitatively forits concentration of the test chemical and thereby the amount ofthat chemical that has permeated the barrier as a function oftime after its initial contact with the material.4.2.3 By ei

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to measure chemical perme-ation through specim

In many applications, protective clothing is con-tacted intermittently to chemicals, not continuously as is testedby Test Method F739.5.2 This test method is normally used to evaluate flatspeci

41、s recommended for measuring permeationunder the conditions of continuous contact of the test chemicalwith the clothing specimen.5.4 The breakthrough detection time, standardized break-through time, and the cumulative permeation are key measuresof the effectiveness of a clothing material as a barrier

42、 to the testchemical. Such information is used in the comparison ofclothing materials during the process of selecting clothing forprotection from hazardous chemicals. Long breakthrough de-tection times and standardized breakthrough times and lowcumulative permeation are characteristics of better bar

43、riers.NOTE 1At present, there is limited quantitative information existsabout acceptable levels of dermal contact with most chemicals. Therefore,the data obtained using this test method cannot be used to infer safeexposure levels.5.4.1 The reporting of a standardized breakthrough timegreater than a

44、specific time period does not mean that nochemical has permeated through the protective clothing mate-rial as the standard breakthrough time is determined based onthe permeation rate reaching a level of 0.1 g/cm2min,indicating that some chemical has already permeated thespecimen prior to the reporte

45、d standardized breakthrough time.5.4.2 Cumulative permeation represents the mass that per-meates through a protective clothing material over a specificperiod of time for a specific surface area of material. It ispossible to use this information to model how much chemicalcan enter an item of protecti

46、ve clothing for a particularexposure based on a knowledge of the exposed surface area,the free volume inside the protective clothing item, and amountof air mixing or air exchange for the protective clothing item.5.5 The sensitivity of the test method in detecting lowpermeation rates or amounts of th

47、e test chemical permeated isdetermined by the combination of: (1) the analytical techniqueand collection system selected, and (2) the ratio of materialspecimen area to collection medium volume or flow rate.5.5.1 The analytical technique employed should be capableof measuring the concentration of the

48、 test chemical in thecollection medium at, or below, levels consistent with stan-dardized breakthrough time value specified in 3.1.15.5.5.2 Often, permeation tests will require measurement ofthe test chemical over several orders of magnitude inconcentration, requiring adjustments in either the sampl

49、ecollection volume or concentration/dilution, or the analyticalinstrument settings over the course of the test.5.5.3 Higher ratios of material specimen area to collectionmedium volume or flow rate permit earlier detection ofpermeation because higher concentrations of the test chemicalin the collection medium will develop in a given time period,relative to those that would occur at lower ratios.5.5.4 The sensitivity of an open-loop system is character-ized by its minimum detectable permeation rate. A method fordetermining this value is presented
