Summary of Test Method4.1 A vertically positioned test specimen is exposed to aradiant heat source with an exposure heat flux of

21、 either (a) 21kW/m2(0.5 cal/cm2s) or (b) 84 kW/m2(2 cal/cm2s).NOTE 2Other exposure heat flux values are allowed. The test facilityshall verify the stability of the exposure level over the material exposuretime interval (used to determine the radiant heat performance value) andinclude this in the tes

22、t results report.4.2 The transfer of heat through the test specimen ismeasured using a copper slug calorimeter. The change intemperature versus time is used, along with the known thermo-physical properties of copper to determine the respectivethermal energy delivered.4.3 A Radiant Heat Performance v

23、alue of the test specimenis determined iteratively as the intersection of the time-dependent cumulative radiant heat response as measured by thecalorimeter to a time-dependent, empirical predicted second-degree skin burn injury performance curve identified in10.2.1.4.4.4 Subjective observations of t

24、he thermal response oftested specimens are optionally noted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for the determination of theradiant heat performance value of a material, a combination ofmaterials, or a comparison of different materials used in flameresistant clothing for workers

25、exposed to radiant thermalhazards.5.2 This test method evaluates a materials heat transferproperties when exposed to a heat exposure at a constant valueand systematically varied durations. Air movement at the faceof the specimen and around the calorimeter can affect themeasured heat transferred due

26、to forced convective heat losses.Minimizing air movement around the specimen and testapparatus will aid in the repeatability of the results.5.3 This test method accounts for the thermal energy con-tained in the exposed test specimen after the radiant heatexposure has ceased. Higher values of Radiant

27、 Heat Perfor-mance rating determined in this test associate to higher valuesof radiant energy protection against a predicted skin burninjury.5.4 This test method maintains the specimen in a static,vertical position and does not involve movement except thatresulting from the exposure procedure.5.5 Th

28、is test method specifies two standard sets of exposureconditions, 21 kW/m2(0.5 cal/cm2s) and 84 kW/m2(2.0 cal/cm2s). Either can be used.5.5.1 If a different set of exposure conditions is used, it islikely that different results will be obtained.5.5.2 The optional use of other conditions representati

29、ve ofthe expected hazard, in addition to the standard set of exposureconditions, is permitted. However, the exposure conditionsused must be reported with the results along with a determi-nation of the exposure energy level stability.6.
