| Abstract |
Special work garments usable for protection against flameless radiant and convective heat up to 400°C were tested in a hot chamber. The garments are intended to be worn only for short periods and for special purposes. Testing and classification methods are reviewed. 11 suits tested according to French Standard NF S-103 and their cooling systems are described. No suit performed satisfactorily under the most extreme conditions. These results are instructive with regard to the improvement of this equipment. |
