National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Chemical Protective Clothing Standard Test Method Development. Final Report. Degradation Test Method.

PB95145264

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Mansdorf, S. Z.; Berardinelli, S. P.
Page Count	121
Abstract	The findings of an eight laboratory round robin evaluation of a proposed American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard test method for evaluating chemical protective clothing were presented. The purpose of the report was to evaluate the proposed ASTM degradation test method, and recommend changes that would result in improved consistency and reliability. Protective clothing materials were selected based on their level of use in commercial chemical protective clothing, the project team's subjective estimates of redgradatin resistance, and availability of samples. The findings of the study suggest that as indicated by wide variations in thickness, weight and elongation test data, the proposed ASTM standard test method for evaluating protective clothing materials for resistance to degradation by liquid chemicals should not be recommended for use in its present form.
