New Test Method for Evaluation of Materials for Protection against Steam and Hot Liquids
1. Scope
Develop a test method describing a procedure to predict human skin burn injury for protective clothing ensembles mounted on a stationary upright instrumented manikin which is then exposed in a laboratory to a steam or hot liquid hazard.Keywords
steam; hot liquids; protectionRationale
A method of this type was embedded in CGSB 155.20 which has been withdrawn. A new and updated version of the method needs to be developed as an ASTM document. Fabric and garment manufacturers have a need to test their products against this known hazard which no other existing test methods address.
