Performance of Protective Clothing: Global Needs and Emerging Markets: 8th Volume
Yarborough PD
Advancements have been made in the field of protective clothing based on new fabric and garment technologies. This symposium was designed to expand the awareness the application of standards and performance specifications in the development of protective clothing. These papers contained in this STP were presented at the Eighth International Symposium on the Performance of Protective Clothing sponsored by ASTM Committee F23 in January of 2004.
The technical papers in this STP are arranged into six main topic areas:
- nuclear, biological, and chemical protective apparel
- thermal comfort
- predicting product performance
- standards and test method development
- assessment of thermal protection
Specific topics that these papers address include
- estimating thermal resistance of the textile system
- fabric insulation
- evaporative resistance
- cut protection performance of protective apparel
- textile-based wearable electronics
- military protective clothing
- puncture resistance
- Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) ratings
- skin model
- flash fire
- manikin fire test,
- flame protective clothing systems
- flame resistant textiles
- chemical protective clothing
- user feedback on a prototype personal cooling system for first responders
- Henriques Burn Integral
