Annex A
(normative)
Test method for thermal protective performance
A.1 Scope
This method specified the test method for thermal insulation performance of
flame retardant protective clothing fabric that is placed horizontally and is
exposed to radiant and convective heat sources.
This method is applicable to the test of single or multiple layers of flame
retardant materials. It is not applicable to non-flame-retardant materials.
A.2 Principle
Horizontally place the flame-retardant material sample. Keep it at a certain
distance from the convection / radiation mixed heat source. When the amount
of heat transmitted is equivalent to causing secondary burns in human tissues,
record the exposure time. According to different placement positions of sample
and testing sensor, use direct contact to simulate the situation that the flame-
resistant protective clothing exists with the body in a certain space.
A.3 Testing devices (Figure A.1 ~ Figure A.4)
a) Heat source: including one radiant heat source and two convective heat
sources. The radiant heat source uses a group of nine T-150 infrared
quartz lamps. Place right below the horizontally-placed sample at a certain
distance. The convective heat source uses two igniters. Symmetrically
place below the sample and at a 45° angle to the vertical line in the sample;
b) Protective fence: place between the heat source and the sample. Use the
opening and closing of the protective fence to control whether the sample
can receive the heat generated by the heat source;
c) Sample holder and mounting plate: the holder is used for sample
positioning. The size of mounting plate is 150mm × 150mm, and the
thickness is 1.6mm. There is a hole of 100mm × 100mm in the middle. A
6.5mm angle iron is welded vertically at each corner;
d) Sample holding plate: an iron plate with a size of 149mm × 149mm ×
15mm. There is a hole of 130mm × 130mm in the middle. The spacer and
sensor assemblies shall be mounted on them without bonding;
e) Spacer: 128mm × 128mm × 6.4mm, with a 110mm × 110mm hole in the
Annex B
(normative)
Test method for thermal stability
B.1 Application scope
This test method is used for thermal stability test of fabrics, supplementary
materials and components of flame-retardant protective clothing.
B.2 Sample
The sample size is 100mm × 100mm. The sampling quantity in the warp and
weft directions is 3, respectively. If flame retardant protective clothing has
multiple layers, test it as a whole. As required, if it is water washing, it shall
respectively test before and after 3 times of washings according to GB/T 17596.
B.3 Test devices
B.3.1 Drying box
Temperature range: 20°C~300°C;
Temperature fluctuation: ± 2.0°C;
There is sufficient volume to separately place the test sample.
B.3.2 Measuring ruler
Use a 1m long millimeter scale.
B.4 Test preparation
Hold the sample for 24h under a standard atmospheric pressure, 20°C±2°C and
a relative humidity of 65%±5%.
B.5 Test steps
Heat the drying box to the temperature required: (260°C±2°C) for level A,
(180°C±2°C) for levels B and C. Immediately place the hanging sample into the
drying box. The sample shall not contact the wall of the drying box. Close the
time since the door of drying box is closed. Open the drying box door after 5min.
Take out the sample. It shall measure the sizes in the length, width directions
at room temperature within 2min.
