Summary of Test Method4.1 A vertically positioned test specimen is exposed to a radiant

23、heat source with an exposure heat flux of either (a) 21 kW/m2(0.5 cal/cm2s) or (b) 84 kW/m2 (2 cal/cm2s).NOTE 2Other exposure heat flux values are allowed. The test facility shall verify the stability of the exposure level over the material exposure timeinterval (used to determine the radiant heat p

24、erformance value) and include this in the test results report.4.2 The transfer of heat through the test specimen is measured using a copper slug calorimeter.The change in temperature versustime is used, along with the known thermo-physical properties of copper to determine the respective thermal ene

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for the determination of the radiant heat performance value of a material, a combination ofmaterials, or a comparison of different mater

27、ials used in flame resistant clothing for workers exposed to radiant thermal hazards.5.2 This test method evaluates a materials heat transfer properties when exposed to a heat exposure at a constant value andsystematically varied durations.Air movement at the face of the specimen and around the calo

28、rimeter can affect the measured heattransferred due to forced convective heat losses. Minimizing air movement around the specimen and test apparatus will aid in therepeatability of the results.3 Derived from: Stoll, A.M. and Chianta, M.A., “Method and Rating System for Evaluations of Thermal Protect

30、tained in the exposed test specimen after the radiant heat exposure hasceased. Higher values of Radiant Heat Performance rating determined in this test associate to higher values of radiant energyprotection against a predicted skin burn injury.5.4 This test method maintains the specimen in a static,

31、 vertical position and does not involve movement except that resultingfrom the exposure procedure.5.5 This test method specifies two standard sets of exposure conditions, 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, i

32、t is likely that different results will be obtained.5.5.2 The optional use of other conditions representative of the expected hazard, in addition to the standard set of exposureconditions, is permitted. However, the exposure conditions used must be reported with the results along with a determinatio

Apparatus and Materials6.1 General ArrangementThe apparatus consists of a vertically oriented radiant heat source, specimen holder assembly,protective shutter, sensor assembly, and data acquisition/analysis system. The general arrangement of the radiant hea

34、t source,specimen holder, and protective shutter of a suitable apparatus is shown in Fig. 1.6.1.1 Radiant Heat SourceA suitable, vertically oriented radiant heat source is shown in Fig. 1. It consists of a bank of five,500 W infrared, tubular, translucent quartz lamps having a 127 mm (5.0-in.) light

35、ed length and a mean overall length of 222 mm(834 in.). The lamps are mounted on 9.5 6 0.4 mm (38 6 164-in.) centers so that the lamp surfaces are approximately 0.4 mm(164-in.) apart. The bank or array of lamps are mounted and centered behind a 63.5 by 140 mm (212 by 512-in.) cut-out that isposition

36、ed in the center of a 12.7 mm (12-in.) thick, 86 mm (338-in.) wide, by 292 mm (11-12 in.) long high temperature insulatingboard as shown in Fig. 2.The quartz lamps are heated electrically, and the power input controlled by means of a rheostat or variablepower supply having a capacity of at least 25A

37、.6.1.1.1 Setting and monitoring the voltmeter readout on a voltage-controlled variable power supply is one method to calibrateand monitor the exposure level during the testing on a system so equipped.Avoltmeter, accurate to6161 V, is typically installedwith the appropriate load circuit to indicate l

The 280Ctemperature minimum identified above corresponds to the point where melting of the solder bond would be exper

A carefulsoldering technique is required to avoid “cold” solder joints (where the solder has not formed a suitable bond of the thermocouple to the copper

44、disk).6.1.6 Data Acquisition/Analysis SystemA data acquisition/analysis system is required that is capable of recording thecalorimeter temperature response, calculating the resulting thermal energy, and determining the test endpoint by comparing thetime-dependent thermal energy transfer reading to t

Hazards7.1 This test method uses a high radiant energy source to test mater

47、ials. The apparatus shall be adequately shielded to minimizeany radiant exposure to personnel. Avoid viewing the lamps when energized.7.2 Perform the test in an appropriate exhaust hood that is designed to contain and carry away combustion products, smoke, andfumes. Shield the apparatus or turn off

48、the hood while running the test; turn the hood on to clear the fumes. Maintain an adequateseparation between the radiant heat source and combustible materials.7.3 The specimen holder and sensor assembly become heated during prolonged testinguse protective gloves when handlingthese hot objects.7.4 Ob
