Strålningsrespons hos brandhjälmar
(2009) In LUTVDG/TVBB VBRM01 20092Division of Fire Safety Engineering
- Abstract
- Fire fighters in Sweden claimed that helmets used as protective gear during exercises melted because of the thermal heat exposure. According to European certification methods helmets are tested towards thermal radiation to ensure that the protective gear still meets the regulations. This report has evaluated if the certification methods are adequate for a Swedish fire fighter´s environment and which kind of affect thermal radiation has to helmets. The study shows that methods providing helmets with certification are appropriate from a Swedish perspective and that it’s not the helmet that limits the fire fighter due to its protective ability; it´s himself.
