1、Designation:F141413Standard Test Method forMeasurement of Cut Resistance to Chain Saw in LowerBody(Legs)Protective Clothing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1414;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the
2、 year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method measures cut resistance of garmentsand devices worn to protect the lower body(legs)whenoperating
3、a chain saw.1.2 This test method may be used to test for compliance tominimum performance requirements in established safety stan-dards.1.2.1 By agreement between the purchaser and the supplier,or as required by established safety standards,it will bedecided if this test method will be used to deter
4、mine one orboth of the following:(1)chainspeed 50(CS50),and(2)success/failure(jamming/chain stop or no cut in less than 1.5seconds)at specified chain speed.1.3 This test method may be used to determine levels ofprotection for areas of coverage as stipulated in establishedsafety standards.1.4 The val
5、ues stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.NOTE1The values stated in each system may not be exact equiva-lents;therefore,each system must be used independently of the other,without combining values in any way.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,as
6、sociated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 The following documents,form a part of this specifica-tion to the extent
