1、Designation:F193015Standard Test Method forEvaluation of Flame Resistant Clothing for ProtectionAgainst Fire Simulations Using an Instrumented Manikin1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1930;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,
2、in the case of revision,the 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 is used to provide predicted humanskin burn injury for single layer ga
3、rments or protective clothingensembles mounted on a stationary upright instrumented mani-kin which are then exposed in a laboratory to a simulated fireenvironment having controlled heat flux,flame distribution,and duration.The average exposure heat flux is 84 kW/m2(2cal/scm2),with durations up to 20
4、 seconds.1.2 The visual and physical changes to the single layergarment or protective clothing ensemble are recorded to aid inunderstanding the overall performance of the garment orprotective clothing ensemble and how the predicted humanskin burn injury results can be interpreted.1.3 The skin burn i
5、njury prediction is based on a limitednumber of experiments where the forearms of human subjectswere exposed to elevated thermal conditions.This forearminformation for skin burn injury is applied uniformly to theentire body of the manikin,except the hands and feet.Thehands and feet are not included
