This book was released on 1992 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed a field kit based on a permeation cup test, to aid in the selection of chemical protective clothing. The operation of the permeation field test kit is based on a gravimetric method. This involves placing a small amount of test chemical in the permeation cup, and weighing the assembled cup. The cup is then removed from the balance and placed on a stand in an inverted position, so that the chemical is in direct contact with the material. The stand allows air to flow across the surface of the material to remove permeating vapor. Periodic weighings are conducted for approximately one hour or other established test period. Cup assembly weight loss data can then be used to determine the permeation resistance of the tested material. Prototype kits were evaluated by the U.S. Fire Administration for their application in hazardous chemical emergency response. Evaluations were conducted at four fire department locations; Sacramento, California; Prince George's County, Maryland; Phoenix, Arizona; and Del Ray Beach, Florida. Each location presented a different set of climatic conditions in terms of humidity and temperature. The test matrix consisted of five chemicals and five materials. Chemicals were chosen to represent a range of volatility while clothing materials were sampled from different types of garments. Triplicate tests were conducted for each material-chemical combination. Improvements were successively made in the kit's design and procedures and also evaluated during the study. The results were analyzed for intrasite and intersite variation as well as being compared to laboratory test data. The study demonstrated the utility of the kit in emergency response applications. Observations from this and related studies have indicated a number of changes to additional applications, changes to kit design, and methods for interpreting the data.

Download or read book Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation Degradation Database Macintosh Version written by Michael Blotzer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-10-26 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three most important things to evaluate when selecting Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC) are 1) evidence of degradation of the garment exposed to a chemical; 2) breakthrough time, and 3) permeation rate. Because proper CPC selection must be based on permeation and degradation tests performed upon specific manufacturer products, you need an information source that enables you to access test results quickly and easily. Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database is that source. It is the world's largest international CPC database, containing over 10,000 results from tests of more than 660 chemicals and mixtures against more than 250 CPC models. Every test result has a complete reference source. Use Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database as a supplement to your Material Safety Data Sheets to help select the best garments for your particular needs. It will be just as important to use this information to evaluate your existing stock of CPC to determine which chemicals they should not be used with. Furthermore, the powerful searching capabilities built into the database programs help to provide rapid responses in emergency situations, especially when used on portable computers. In fact, searches are even accessible from the U.S. Coast Guard's CameoTM 3 Navigator. ,text>The MacintoshTM version of Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database can be used on Macintosh Plus, SE, Portable, or any Macintosh II computer with 1 MB (2 MB or more recommended) RAM and a hard drive. You should have Hypercard Version 2.0 or higher and at least 2 MB of available hard drive disk space to use the programs.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is recommended that an enclosure system be developed that integrates the sample swatch scheme and volatilization chamber to facilitate non-destructive and repetitive testing of garments. In addition, the applicability of the method to other firefighter protective equipment (i.e., turnout gear, gloves, hoods, hoses, etc.) should also be investigated.
