Abstract
Thermal protective performance of protective clothing is greatly affected by structural parameters of fabric, air gap, and orientation of testing. This paper used Box-Behnken design experimental design to see the influence of pick density of shell (outer) layer, air gap, and orientation of test on thermal protective performance in terms of protection time. The testing was done at constant radiant heat flux. Thermal protective performance was measured in terms of second degree burn time using Stoll’s curve. The model showed F value of 72.98 and p-value 0.0001 which shows that model was significant. It was also found that there was significant effect of pick density, air gap, and orientation angle on thermal protective performance. There was positive effect of pick density and air gap but negative effect of orientation angle. This was also observed that effect of pick density was more when air gap increases. The study can help in development of thermal protective clothing for different parts of body.
期刊介绍:
Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis.
The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large.
It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
