THE SUB-FABRIC FLASH BUM:QUANTITATIVE EFFECT ON PROTECTIVITY OF FABRIC REFLECTANCE, FABRIC WEIGHT AND EXPOSURE TIME

摘要

Cotton sateen’s impregnated with carboxymethyl-cellulose and varying quantities of carbon black were used in a systematic study of burn production as a function of reflectance and of fabric weight in relation to exposure tine. A modified carbon arc provided the source of thermal energy; anesthetized white pigs were used as indicators. Reflectance’s and weights of the fabrics were determined in this laboratory. Exposure-response tables and probity analyses are presented to show the empiric dependence of productivity upon these three parameters. Within limits, the protective index of these fabrics in contact with skin may be expressed by.
