Summary of Test Method4.1 A horizontally positioned test specimen is exposed to acom

20、bined convective and radiant heat source with an exposureheat flux of 84 6 2kW/m2(2 6 0.05 cal/cm2s).NOTE 3Other exposure heat flux values are allowed, however differ-ent exposure conditions have the potential to produce different results. Thetest facility shall verify the stability of other exposur

21、e levels over thematerials exposure time interval (used to determine the heat transferperformance value) and include this in the test results report.4.2 The unsteady-state transfer of heat through the testspecimen is measured using a copper slug calorimeter. Thechange in temperature versus time is u

22、sed, along with theknown thermo-physical properties of copper, to determine therespective thermal energy passed through the test specimen.4.3 Aheat transfer performance value of the test specimen isdetermined as the intersection of the time-dependent cumula-tive heat response as measured by the calo

23、rimeter to atime-dependent, empirical performance curve identified in10.9.4.4 Observations of the thermal response of the specimenresulting from the exposure are optionally noted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for the determination of theheat transfer performance value of a

24、material, a combination ofmaterials, or a comparison of different materials used in flameresistant clothing for workers exposed to combined convectiveand radiant thermal hazards.5.2 This test method evaluates a materials unsteady-stateheat transfer properties when exposed to a continuous andconstant

25、 heat source.Air movement at the face of the specimenand around the calorimeter can affect the measured heattransferred due to forced convective heat losses. Minimizingair movement around the specimen and test apparatus will aidin the repeatability of the results.5.3 This test method maintains the s

26、pecimen in a static,horizontal position and does not involve movement except thatresulting from the exposure.5.4 This test method specifies a standardized 84 6 2kW/m2(2 6 0.05 cal/cm2s) exposure condition. Differentexposure conditions have the potential to produce differentresults. Use of other expo

27、sure conditions that are representativeof the expected hazard are allowed but shall be reported withthe results along with a determination of the exposure energylevel stability.5.5 This test method does not predict skin burn injury fromthe heat exposure.NOTE 4See Appendix X4 for additional informati

28、on regarding thistest method and predicted skin burn injury.6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 General ArrangementThe measurement apparatusconfiguration consists of a combined convective and radiantenergy heat source, a water cooled shutter for exposure control,a specimen and sensor support structure, a

29、specimen holderassembly, a copper calorimeter sensor assembly, and a dataacquisition/analysis system. Automation of the apparatus forexecution of the measurement procedure is allowed. Thegeneral arrangement of the test apparatus configuration isshown in Fig. 1.6.2 Gas SupplyPropane (commercial grade

30、 or better) orMethane (technical grade or better).6.3 Gas FlowmeterAny gas flowmeter or rotometer withrange to give a flow equivalent of at least 6 L (0.21 ft3)/min airat standard conditions.6.4 Thermal Energy Sources6.4.1 Two each, Meker or Fisher burners jetted for theselected fuel gas (propane or

31、 methane) with a 38 mm (1.5 in.)diameter top and an orifice size of 1.2 mm (364 in.) arranged sothat the bodies (top section) do not obstruct the quartz lampsand their flame profiles overlap.

This helps to avoid heatingadjacent mechanical components and to shield the

The paintedsensor must be dried and cured, according to the manufacturersinstructions, before use and present a uniformly applied coat-ing (no visual thick spots or surface irr

In theabsence of manufacturers instructions, an external heat source,for example, an external heat lamp, shall be used to completelydrive off any remaining organic carriers in a freshly paintedsurface before use.NOTE 5Absorptivity of painted calorimeters is discussed in theASTM Researc

A careful soldering technique is required to avoid “cold” solderjoints (where the solder has no

An auxiliary stainless steel plate affixed to and/orindividual weights placed at the top of the sensor assembly have beenfound to be effective.6.6 Data Acquisition/Analysis SystemA data acquisition/analysis system is required that is capable of recording thecalorimeter temperature response, calc

45、ulating the resultingthermal energy, and determining the test endpoint by compar-ing the time-dependent thermal energy transfer reading to anempirical performance curve.6.6.1 The data acquisition component shall have a minimumsampling rate of four samples per second for temperatures to250C with a mi
