This book was released on 1988 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed Test Method for Thermal Protective Performance of Materials for Clothing by Open-Flame Method (D 4108-82). A modified version of this test is utilized in the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 1971 (1986 Edition) and the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) Draft Proposal 9151. The influences of these modifications on measured Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) values for composite assemblies have been determined. The sample restraining technique was identified as a critical factor in influencing the results obtained. An alternative system of mounting involving pins, is described, that prevents fabric shrinkage without compression. The behavior of a series of assemblies has been investigated using the technique and the contribution of each component (outer shell, moisture barrier, and thermal liner) to the measured TPP values evaluated.

Download or read book Comparison of Conductive Heat Resistance and Radiant Heat Resistance with Thermal Protective Performance of Fire Fighter Protective Clothing written by JO. Stall and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was intended to support the development of new test technology and requirements for possible inclusion in the 1997 edition of NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural Fire Fighting. The particular focus of this study was to examine test methods related to the thermal protection of fire fighter protective clothing. Both conductive heat resistance and radiant heat resistance performance areas were investigated for a number of composites and compared with thermal protective performance test results. Conductive heat resistance testing was conducted using Test Method F 1060 while radiant heat resistance testing was performed using procedures in NFPA 1976, Standard on Protective Clothing for Proximity Fire Fighting. In addition, different key variables were examined for each type of test to show the effects of exposure temperature, moisture, and pressure in the case of conductive heat resistance, and radiative heat flux for radiant heat resistance testing. The study demonstrated that different test methods rank materials systems differently and that no one test can be used to predict performance in all fire ground situations. The effects of specific variables for some tests indicated a range of performance for the different material systems evaluated. For example, conductive heat resistance showed varying effects for moisture in clothing systems--sometimes augmenting performance, in other cases diminishing protection times. The study offers a number of recommendations for further development of test methods and performance criteria which can be applied to fire fighter protective clothing.

Download or read book Applications and Computational Elements of Industrial Hygiene written by Martin B. Stern and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the only textbook available today that covers all of the critical elements of industrial hygiene ó conceptual information, computational coverage, case studies, and sample problems and exercises ó in one volume. Organized around the basic rubrics of industrial hygiene, this book helps students to think like industrial hygienists while offering the latest techniques for practicing professionals. Applications and Computational Elements of Industrial Hygiene is the most complete reference available on IH, and is also an ideal study aid for exam preparation. This is the first and only textbook that includes all critical computations for each concept covered. Each chapter discusses a different hazard and how to recognize, evaluate, and control it. The advantage of this approach is clear; technical issues, instrumental techniques, engineering control procedures ó relevant issues from A to Z ó are discussed for each hazard. Chapters conclude with case studies that offer critical insight into the practical aspects of the field. The book also covers emerging issues that will affect industrial hygienists in the future. The book includes real-life situations and experiences to demonstrate practical applications of concepts presented in the text. For students, Applications and Computational Elements of Industrial Hygiene offers critical material formerly scattered across multiple sources. For seasoned industrial hygienists, this is an essential problem-solving tool and state-of-the-art reference that consolidates and updates previously scattered information.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted to compare the two methods, Henriques Burn Integral and Stoll criteria, in thermal protective performance evaluation on firefighter clothing composites exposed to various thermal hazards. The thermal hazards that the firefighter may encounter during fire fighting are low level thermal radiation and high intensity flashover fire. With the simulation of these thermal hazards in the lab, the heat flux behind exposed clothing composites are characterized with flux rise rate and peak heat flux. Comparisons were performed on the prediction differences of clothing system made using Henriques Burn integral and Stoll criteria under different conditions. The study demonstrated that in some cases less difference is predicted by the two methods, while in other cases a significant difference is observed. Several recommendations were made for the qualitative prediction of garment and fabric thermal protective performance under different situations.

Download or read book Standard Methods for Thermal Comfort Assessment of Clothing written by Ivana Špelić and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing detailed analysis of the thermal comfort assessment of clothing as the basis for developing standards, this book discusses the thermal protective role of clothing as a way of modelling heat transfer from the body, general thermal regulation of humans, and the importance of globally accepted test methods and standards to improve quality. New materials and discoveries in the study of thermal comfort necessitate the need for standard improvements and update. The development of international standards and the unification of testing methods is of crucial significance to ensure cost reduction and health protection. The book promotes instruments, methods, implementation of unified specifications, and the definition of standards so that a clear quality management system can be established, for both production systems and testing methods. It discusses standards in ergonomics of the thermal environment, clothing thermal characteristics, and subjective assessment of thermal comfort, which allows for systematic control of the measuring methods and the services and final products that are distributed on the global market. This book is aimed at industry professionals, researchers, and advanced students working in textile and clothing engineering, comfort testing, and ergonomics.
