Summary of Test Method4.1 A horizontally positioned test specimen is exposed to acombined convective and radiant heat source with an exposurehea

22、t flux of 84 6 2kW/m2(2 6 0.05 cal/cm2s).NOTE 2Other exposure heat flux values are allowed, howeverdifferent exposure conditions have the potential to produce differentresults. The test facility shall verify the stability of other exposure levelsover the materials exposure time interval (used to det

23、ermine the thermalperformance estimate 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 used, along with theknown thermo-physical properties of copp

24、er, to determine therespective thermal energy passed through the test specimen.4.3 A Thermal Performance Estimate value of the testspecimen is determined iteratively as the intersection of thetime-dependent cumulative heat response as measured by thecalorimeter to a time-dependent, empirical predict

25、ed second-degree skin burn injury performance curve identified in10.4.1.5, Eq 1).4.4 Observations of the thermal response of the specimenresulting from the exposure are optionally reported.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for the determination of athermal performance estimate

26、value of a material, a combina-tion of materials, or a comparison of different materials used inflame resistant clothing for workers exposed to combinedconvective and radiant thermal hazards.5.2 This test method evaluates a materials heat transferproperties when exposed to a heat exposure at a const

27、ant valueand specific duration. Air movement at the face of thespecimen and around the calorimeter can affect the measuredheat transferred due to forced convective heat losses. Minimiz-ing air movement around the specimen and test apparatus willaid in the repeatability of the results.5.3 This test m

28、ethod accounts for the thermal energy storedin the exposed test specimen after the heat exposure hasceased. Higher values of Thermal Performance Estimate rat-ings determined in this test associate to higher values ofthermal (convective and radiative) energy protection against apredicted skin burn in

29、jury.5.4 This test method maintains the specimen in a static,horizontal position and does not involve movement except thatresulting from the exposure.5.5 This test method specifies a standardized 84 6 2kW/m2(2 6 0.05 cal/cm2s) exposure condition. Different exposureconditions have the potential to pr

30、oduce different results. Otherexposure conditions representative of the expected hazard areallowed but shall be reported with the results along with adetermination of the exposure energy level stability.5.6 This test method contains optional provisions for con-ducting certification testing against a

The paintedsensor must be dried and cured, in accordance with themanufacturers instructions, before use and present a un
