Textile test methods — Thermal protective performance of materials for clothing
Scope:
This method rates textile materials for thermal resistance and insulation when exposed to a convective energy level of 83 ± 2 kW/m2 for a short duration.
It is applicable to woven fabrics, knit fabrics, battings, and nonwoven fabrics intended for use as clothing for protection against a chance, short exposure to open flames. It is not intended for evaluating materials exposed to other thermal exposure such as radiant energy or molten metal splash.
Procedures are provided for testing single layer or multiple layer specimens, either in contact with the sensor or with an air space between specimen and sensor.
This method is not applicable to textile materials that undergo complete flaming combustion when tested vertically for flame resistance.
