Although the danger to the wearer ar

23、ises from leakage in an inward direction, this test method assesses the outward leakage of air after the gas-tight suit has been inflated so as to stretch the material of construction, thereby enabling the test method to be capable of detecting very small imperfections, e.g. holes, splits or tears.

24、1 Scope This European Standard describes a test method to assess the resistance of a gas-tight suit to the penetration of gases through, for example, essential openings, fastenings, seams, overlaps between items, pores and any imperfections in the materials of construction. 2 Definitions For the pur

25、poses of this standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 assemblage a permanent fastening between two or more different garments, or between chemical protective clothing and accessories, obtained, for example by sewing, welding, vulcanizing, gluing 2.2 gas-tight suit a one-piece garment with hood

26、, gloves and boots which, when worn with self-contained or air-line breathing apparatus provides the wearer a high degree of protection against harmful liquids, particles and gaseous or vapour contaminants 2.3 join a non-permanent fastening between two different garments, or between chemical protect

27、ive clothing and accessories 2.4 penetration the process by which chemical flows through holes or essential openings in the material. The holes may be the result of mechanical damage 2.5 connection an assemblage or join 3 Principle After the suit has been inflated to a defined pressure, the extent o

28、f the subsequent leakage of air is assessed by recording the pressure reached after a defined period of time. NOTEGarment users should appreciate that the test does not simulate penetration by gases in an inward direction (see the explanation given in the introduction). 4 Test apparatus 4.1 A source

29、 of compressed air, supplying air at the ambient temperature of testing area which must be within the range (20 5) C. 4.2 Pressure measurement device, with the capability of measuring up to(1800 30)Pa. 4.3 Vent valve closure components, such components may be plugs or other means that are to be supp

30、lied for test purposes by the manufacturer. 4.4 Stop clock or appropriate timing device, capable of measuring to the nearest second. 5 Procedure 5.1 Lay out the suit including gloves and boots, and full facemask if appropriate, on a suitable flat and clean surface away from any sources of heat and/o

31、r currents of air. 5.2 Remove any creases and folds in the suit as far as practicable. 5.3 Leave the suit for a minimum of 1 h at ambient temperature(20 5) C. 5.4 Make an inflation connection. 5.5 Carefully blank off the valves etc., with appropriate means of closure supplied by the manufacturer. 5.

32、6 Using compressed air, inflate the suit carefully to a pressure of (1750 50)Pa. 5.7 Maintain the pressure at (1700 50)Pa for10min by the addition of air, if necessary, and at the same time ensure that any creased areas are unfolded and that the suit is stretched as appropriate. NOTEDuring this peri

33、od the temperature is stabilized and the pressure throughout the suit reaches equilibrium. 5.8 After the period of10min has elapsed (see5.7), adjust the pressure in the suit to(1650 30)Pa. 5.9 Allow further6min to elapse. Note and record the pressure in the suit in pascals. NOTEPay careful attention

34、 to the cleanliness and the refitting of valves which have been obstructed or removed to carry out the test, to ensure that they function satisfactorily after the test.EN464:1994 4 BSI 10-1999 6 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) that the test was carried out in
