METHOD FOR DETERMINING HEAT-REFLECTING PROPERTIES OF INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEANS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: working out of means for protecting individual's skin from high-intensity thermal affecting factors, such as light radiation, fire flame etc. SUBSTANCE: method involves using mannequin system of thermal individual's skin imitators; positioning temperature sensors on mannequin surface discretely in equally spaced relation, with number of temperature sensors being 400; determining burns by temperature values. Working body of mannequin system is made from polymeric composition containing, wt.-%: epoxy resin (base), 100; hexamethylene diamine (hardener), 10-15; powdered bronze (filler), 20-25. Polymeric composition possesses thermal properties approximating related properties of individual's skin. EFFECT: increased efficiency and reliable evaluation of thermal affect by providing adequate conditions for transferring heat through protective materials. 1 dwg, 3 tbl
