... This paper discusses the merits and deficiencies of some existing and proposed test methods for the evaluation of fabrics intended for protection against radiant heat and flame. Modifications to improve the apparatus and the procedures are suggested. The factors investigated include (1...

... of the energy incident on the victim is in the form of radiant heat. Convective heat tests are subject to a number of problems that create uncertainty in the interpretation of test data, and in many instances, high-intensity radiation tests would provide the information required. The performance requirements...

... the other side was suddenly exposed to radiant heat. The results show great differences for various protective materials. The authors conclude that the method has a capacity that makes it possible to select radiant heat protective clothing materials. The method is also useful for dynamic temperature...

... The purpose of this research project was to conduct a single-laboratory evaluation of three methods to determine and characterize the potential hazard posed by flammable materials disposed in landfills. The test procedures—(1) radiant heat ignition, (2) linear flame propagation and (3...

... Efforts to reduce heat stress conditions in shipboard engineering work spaces are assigned high priority within the Navy. Recent questions have been raised concerning the effectiveness of thermal insulation on shipboard installations to reduce the radiant heat imposed on personnel. A major issue...
