Thermal Barrier Test Apparatus
Natick, MA
The Natick Soldier Center has the capability to evaluate flame retardant materials based on their flame/thermal protective performance at a heat flux simulating battlefield flame/thermal hazards. The performance is measured using a skin sensor that can predict temperature changes on the human skin surface resulting from heat penetrating the fabric sample. Compared to other conventional tests, this simple bench-scale apparatus is a quick and inexpensive method to get valuable information such as skin temperature profiles and burn injury times.
