Standard Test Method to Measure Heat Transfer Through Textile Thermal Barrier Materials

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method measures the level of heat transfer through the thermal barrier textile material within a specific period of time.

5.2 This test method is used to evaluate thermal barriers and determine if they are able to withstand impingement by an open flame.

5.2.1 This test method is used to evaluate heat transfer when thermal barrier textile materials are used in conjunction with materials that demonstrate any of the following behaviors when exposed to high heat:

break open

charring

dripping

embrittlement

ignition

melting

shrinkage

5.3 This test method cannot be used in place of the full scale test method U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 16 CFR 1633.

Note 1: This test method is intended to be used to evaluate thermal barrier textile material, used as the thermal barrier component for mattresses that are tested to comply with 16 CFR 1633. Data obtained by using this method is intended to provide information as to whether it would be helpful to proceed with the full scale testing.

5.3.1 This test method can be used as part of a supplier quality assurance program.

5.4 This test method is not intended to be used in evaluating heat transfer of thermal barrier textile materials used in protective clothing.

5.5 This test method is not recommended for acceptance testing of commercial shipments, since information on interlaboratory precision is incomplete. In some cases the purchaser and the supplier shall agree to test a commercial shipment of one or more specific materials and establish their own interlaboratory precision and bias, and also agree on acceptability limits.
