Surprising Ratings of Arc-Rated Clothing Obtained from a Major Online Vendor
This paper presents results of testing to evaluate ratings of five fabrics obtained from shirt samples from a major online vendor. Some may also be available in standard stores. Results of the test were all well under the advertised rating. Some samples broke open at energies less than the rating. Styles were single-layer shirts with advertised arc thermal performance value (ATPV) ratings between 8 and 10 cal/cm2. These are commonly used as daily wear protection. Three were 100% cotton and two were modacrylic blends. These test results raise questions about online vendors and the ability to obtain reliable rating information.
