Ex-amples include guns, knives, and hand grenades.4. Significance and Use4.1 The significant attributes of this

22、practice are the methodsfor determining the detection capabilities of metal detectors,the methods for determining the effects of outside influences ondetectors, and certain safety requirements for detectors.4.2 While this practice was originated for walk-throughmetal weapons detectors, it is equally

23、 applicable to detectors ofother metal objects. The innocent objects set (15.1.2) wouldrequire modification commensurate with the size of the otherobject to be tested; some tests may not be applicable and otherspecific and different tests may be necessary.4.3 This practice includes testing site requ

24、irements (Section6) to minimize data variations. These methods may be used atnonconforming sites if site-related disturbances are consideredand accounted for.4.4 This practice is not meant to constrain designs but it isapplicable only to detectors which are designed for individualwalk-through. The p

25、ortal structure shall be deemed to meet thiscriterion if it provides a minimum vertical clearance of 1.96 m(77 in.) and a minimum horizontal width clearance of 0.66 m(26 in.).4.5 This practice recognizes that the complex movements ofa test object when carried by a person walking through adetector li

Averaged results from repeated tests underidentical controlled conditions are recommended to obtain abetter approximation of the underlying hypothetical true valuefor that set of conditions.4.6 Where the term “significant” is use

27、d, it refers to phe-nomena which, in accordance with accepted engineering prac-tices, exceed the normal variation of data.5. Safety Requirements5.1 Personal Health and SafetyThe health and safety ofsearchees, operators, and other persons using or coming incontact with the equipment shall have been c

28、onsidered in theequipment design. In addition to the tip-over tests in 5.4 and5.5, any hazards concerning factors in 5.2 and 5.3 shall beincluded in the evaluation report.5.2 MechanicalThe equipment shall be free of sharpcorners of protrusions that can puncture the skin or clothing orinjure persons

The tipping moment, calculated as the heightabove the floor times the maximum force required, shall berecorded in the evaluation report.

31、If anti-tilt fixtures or acces-sories are provided or recommended by the detector manufac-turer, tests shall be conducted with and without such devicesand recorded in the report.5.5 Accessory Table or Pedestal Tip-OverTest as in 5.4except apply the force at the point and in the direction foreasiest

Testing Laboratory Site and General Requirements6.1 Distancing RequirementsSites in which detectors aretested and evaluated shall be free of significant extraneousinfluence

34、hall beat least 1 m (40 in.) distant from the nearest surface of thedetector and free of electrical lines within 3 m (10 ft).6.2 Floor RequirementsThe floor shall be solid and notcapable of transferring vibration or shake to the detector of anamplitude discernible in the detector signal output when

35、aclean tester walks through. It shall be free of steel except fornails or reinforcing bars. No electrical lines shall run in orunder the floor closer than 2 m (6.5 ft) to any portion of thedetector. If the manufacturer recommends shielding, such as analuminum floor liner or elevated platform, it sha

36、ll be in placebefore testing.6.3 The working area shall include sufficient space for thedetector and instrumentation equipment, and for personnel tooperate it conveniently. The number of instrumentation standsor carts shall be minimized. They shall have low metal contentand be located so that they d

37、o not influence test results.F1468 04a (2010)26.4 Determine by appropriate engineering techniques thatthe testing site is free and remains free of all electricalinfluences which might affect the tests. This includes verifica-tion of the quality of the detector power source. Record in theevaluation r

38、eport any deviations from 6.1-6.4.6.5 The detector shall be in a totally operational condition,complete with such items as floor or wall shieldings, electron-ics pedestals, etc., in their normal operational position.6.6 Many of the following sections require quantitativemeasurements of signal magnit

39、ude. Manufacturers who do notprovide quantitative measurements of signal magnitude shallspecify alternative procedures which will provide equivalentevaluation capability.7. Procedure for Testing Detection Performance7.1 The purpose of this procedure is to establish the sensi-tivity setting which is

40、required for the detection of theworst-case test object in its worst orientation at the least-sensitive location within the portal opening. This is the criticalsensitivity for detection of the critical test object in its criticalorientation at the critical test point.7.2 For the evaluation of detect

41、ors under this practice, thetest object or objects shall be actual (not simulated) objectswhich, individually or collectively, represent the characteristicsof the weapons or other contraband objects which it is designedto detect.7.3 As an otherwise clean tester walks through a detectorcarrying a tes

42、t object, the path taken by the object can beapproximated by a straight line through a horizontally andvertically located point within the portal opening. This ignoresthe side-to-side rocking, vertical bouncing, body rotation, andvelocity surging which the walking motion exhibits. Thesesecondary mot

43、ions alter the signal generated by a test objectwhen it is carried by an otherwise clean tester, compared to thesignal from the same test object when carried by a hypotheticalmechanized straight-line carrier apparatus.7.3.1 To better simulate expected actual usage, a walk-through of a clean tester c

44、arrying a test object must be repeatedsufficient times for statistical accuracy to produce the definitivecritical sensitivity data.7.4 A mechanized carrier produces more consistent data.When such equipment is available, its use is recommended fordetermining the intrinsic sensitivity topography of a

45、detector.Normally, the critical test object, its critical orientation, and thecritical grid location point can be determined, along with anapproximate critical sensitivity.7.4.1 A walk-through is necessary to determine the actualcritical sensitivity. In the absence of a conflicting requirement,walk-

46、throughs shall be at an approximate velocity of 1 m/s (3ft/s).7.5 If a mechanized carrier is not available, the same testscan be performed by a person carrying the test object. Severalidentical passes are necessary to obtain adequate consistency.7.6 Test Object Orientation:7.6.1 The nomenclature and

47、 positions given in Fig. 1 referto the orientation of weapons (guns or other weapons) withrespect to the metal detectors.7.7 The comprehensive test for determining detector sensi-tivity requires passing all test objects in a group in allorientations through all points of a selected grid pattern with

48、inthe portal opening. This must be repeated for all combinationsof optional operating modes, multiple channels, and alternateconfigurations. The amount of testing required may be reducedby the following procedures.7.7.1 In the absence of other criteria, start sensitivity mea-surements at a grid loca

49、tion point at the horizontal centerbetween the side panels and vertically equidistant from bothtop and bottom ends of all panel coils; a vertical height fromthe floor of 0.8 to 1.0 m (30 to 40 in.) is usable.7.7.2 Begin with the vertical object orientation 3 as indi-cated in Fig. 1. Pass all objects in the test object group to beevaluated through the detector. Remove test objects whichproduce a signal twice as large as the smallest signal for thegroup.7.7.3 Test the remaining objects in the other two mutuallyorthogonal orientations (across and in-out).
