Manikin Flash Fire Evaluation System for material thermal protection

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to establish the first national Manikin Based Flash Fire Evaluation Research Facility in Australia to develop protocols for assessing real environment fire burning phenomena between the human body and flash fires. This facility will support the diverse needs of researchers working on the assessment of material thermal protection performance, by establishing a system for precise, responsive and highly objective assessment of the thermal protection performance of protective garments and related materials. This knowledge will assist in the development of new quality standards and policies for functional fire protective textiles and equipment, next-generation composites and fire retardant building materials critical for the safety of the Australian workplace and the broader community.
