EN 14360:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the rain tightness of clothing for protection against

19、rain, using a static manikin exposed to artificial rain. It is applicable to the testing of jackets, trousers, coats and one or two piece suits. This standard is not applicable to the testing of garments for resistance to other weather conditions, e.g. snow, hail-, or strong winds. 2 Normative refer

20、ences Not applicable. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following term and definition apply. garment individual component of a clothing ensemble, the wearing of which provides protection to the part of the body that it covers 4 Principle A manikin with the shape

21、 and size of an adult person wearing long underwear made of absorbent fabric is dressed in the garments to be tested and exposed to artificial rain for a specific period. After the exposure the underwear and the inner side of the garment are visually inspected for wet areas. In addition, sensors on

22、the manikin may be used in order to detect the timing of water ingress at individual sites.

23、0:2004 (E) 6 5 Test device 5.1 Rain tower, (as shown in Figure 1) comprising a circular tub at least 1 000 mm in diameter supported at least 5 000 mm above the floor, and supplied with water from an inflow pipe. The base of the tub shall be fitted with approximately 682 nozzles with a hole diameter

24、of 0,6 mm placed at 34 mm centres to deliver water droplets over a circular area with a diameter of 932 mm at a density of approximately 1 000 droplets /m 2 . The tub shall have an overflow pipe placed so as to maintain a water depth of (45 5) mm in the tub. NOTE 1 The diameter of the water droplets

25、 correspond to those described in EN 29865 (app. 5 mm). The amount of water is (450 50) l/(mh) (see Figure 1). NOTE 2 To prevent water from the atmosphere condensing inside the garment the water temperature should be the same as the air temperature in the room in which the test is conducted within 5

26、 C. NOTE 3 To prevent a blockage of the nozzles, water with low calcium content should be used. 5.2 Thermometers, one in the room in which the test is to be carried out to measure the air temperature and one immersed in the tub to measure the temperature of the water. 5.3 Manikin, with the shape of

27、an adult person, (1 820 40) mm tall and with a chest girth of (1 000 60) mm, comprising a head, torso, abdomen, buttocks, arms, hands, straight legs and feet. The arms shall be moveable to make putting on the garment easier. NOTE It is possible to use alternative manikin sizes (children or female) w

28、ith the appropriate garment size. 5.4 Underwear to fit manikin, comprising a undershirt with long sleeves and underpants with long legs. For testing of jackets with a hood, the undershirt shall have a hood. The underwear shall be made of water absorbent fabric (e.g. washed cotton). When the underwea

29、r is tested in accordance with Annex B, the mean time for the drops to be wicked into the fabric shall be not greater than 2 s. 5.5 Optionally humidity sensors, connected to a recording system. The humidity sensors shall be placed either on the manikin at convex places or on the underwear. Figure 2

30、shows a possible position of the sensors. The most critical locations are: shoulders, chest, wrist, back, abdomen (zipper) and shoulder blade. EN 14360:2004 (E) 7 Key a Front view b Rear view Figure 2 Positions of humidity sensors on the manikin 6 Dressing and positioning the manikin If only a singl

31、e piece is to be tested, the manikin has to be fully dressed: a) Jacket testing in combination with any appropriate water tight trousers. b) Trousers testing in combination with any appropriate water tight jacket. The manikin shall be dressed with the underwear (5.4) and the garments of a size adequ

32、ate to the manikin. Any zippers, fastening elements and pockets shall be closed. The draw-cord at the hem of the jacket, if fitted, shall be pulled tight. If the jacket has a hood this shall be put on the manikins head in the normal wearing position, with any draw-cord pulled tight. If the jacket do

33、es not have a hood, the head of the manikin shall be covered with a plastic bag in order to prevent water wicking through the collar inside the jacket. The plastic bag shall not cover the seams in the neckline. If during testing it is found that there is water ingress around the face or through the

34、hood, additional tests shall be carried out with the head and hood covered by plastic bag. If the lower ends of the trouser legs are adjustable they shall be adjusted to the tightest position. The hem area of sleeves and body of the EN 14360:2004 (E) 8 undershirt and the legs of the underpants shall

35、 be adjusted to finish about 45 mm above the ends of the jacket and trouser legs, respectively, to prevent water wicking into the underwear at the wrists or ankles. The manikin shall be adjusted so that it is leaning backwards at an angle of (5 2) to the vertical. NOTE This is because the critical a

36、rea of a jacket with regard to water ingress is normally the zipper fastener. One arm shall be angled backwards and the other arm shall be angled forwards, each at an angle of (25 5) to the true vertical. 7 Test procedure The test sample is positioned on the manikin and the water supply is started.

37、It shall be waited until the tub is filled, i.e. until the overflow pipe is active. Then allow the raindrops to fall down on to the manikin. If not specified, the test duration shall be 1 h. After the test duration time, allow the test garment to drain for 2 min. Remove the test garment carefully av

38、oiding drops contacting the underwear. Examine the inner face of the test garment. Measure the surface of all wetted areas on the underwear and determine the total wetted area in cm 2 . A minimum of two separate specimens per type of garment shall be tested. If one specimen fails, then a third speci

39、men shall be tested. If only one test garment is available, the same test garment shall be tested twice. The test garment shall be dried and conditioned as indicated above before the next test starts. NOTE The product standard may specify a greater number of tests. A repetition rain test of the same

40、 specimen can influence the test results. Normally the second test of the same specimen shows a greater water ingress due to the worse repellency. 8 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) the number of this European Standard; b) identification/description of the test

41、 garment; c) size of the garment; d) test temperature, pre-treatment if relevant; e) for each sample tested, the location of wet areas on the inner side of the garment. The total wet area on the underwear and details of the size and location of wet areas. Wet areas should preferably be indicated by

42、shading on diagrams of a human figure (front and back views) or by photographs of the front and back of the manikin; f) details of the timing of water ingress obtained from the humidity sensors, if available; g) date of testing; h) any deviations from the method given in this standard; i) any qualif

43、ying remarks and observation (e.g. the pocket filled with water, visible changes in water repellency); j) any areas covered with plastic bags (hood etc.); k) the number of samples tested. EN 14360:2004 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) General background to the rain simulation This European Standard has b

44、een prepared to achieve a common basis in Europe for rain shower testing for protective clothing against rain, in particular in the interests of manufacturers, test houses and end-users. The rain-proof properties are tested on the complete garment especially to check design features under non dynami

45、c conditions. The pre-treatment and the pass-fail criteria have to be specified in the specific type of clothing (e.g. maximum wetted area 50 cm 2 ). Some meteorological data on amounts of rainfall and size of raindrops are given here to allow a comparison between the artificial rain used in the tes

46、t and natural rain. The mean amount of precipitation in many places in Central Europe is 500 mm to 1 000 mm (500 l/m 2to 1 000 l/m 2 ) per year. Peak values in the Alps can reach more than 3 000 mm per year. A cloudburst is defined as especially heavy rain during which the water falling is at least

47、1 l/m 2 min -1 . During such a cloudburst in Central Europe, a substantial part of the annual precipitation can fall within less than an hour. However, rainfall of more than 1 l/m 2 min -1 , is rare. In tropical regions, values may exceed 600 l/m 2 h -1in certain cases. The velocity of rain drops wi

48、th a diameter of 5 mm is about 9 m/s at a falling height of 10 m. Although the amount of water for this rain tower test is high, a garment with a good material, design and properly sealed seams can easily remain dry inside after one hour of cloudburst rain. The advantage of a higher rain intensity is that leakages appear quicker and the rain duration time can be reduced. The results of comparative testing 1)have shown that the same ranking could be established for the water tightness of the jackets under test, when the tests
