    Abstract

    A firefighting water garment consists of a reinforced cotton fabric with combing manufactured through weaving of doubled yarn with loose end with an area weight approximately 346 g/m2 which is able to absorb up to six-times more liquid than it weights. The fabric is soaked with a water solution that consists of 50% of water, at least, of 2.7 to 50% of extinguishing agent and of 1 to 10% of a component reflecting heat radiation. Another necessary component is powder titanium dioxide which reflects heat radiation perfectly. Evaporation of water from the suit occurs under presence of fire, and the water starts to cool surface of the fabric and thus prevents overheating of the organism. This way marked extension of time for suit exposure in the fire and prevention of rise of dangerous burns on skin is achieved.

    (45) Test of Firefighting Resilience of Suit—Fireman

    (46) a) The firefighting water garment shaped like a firefighting suit and manufactured according to Example 2a has been subjected to a temperature test pursuant to standard ISO 13506:208. The firefighting suit has been dressed on a dummy and 135 sensors have been placed on its body, the sensors assess what amount of heat has passed through the suit and how extensive burns would occur, if any. 12 burners have been positioned around the dummy, in two rows six in each side. Six of them concentrated on the legs and body and the remaining 6 burners concentrated on the upper part of the body and the head. The test has run for 128 s, and the heat flow of burners has risen to 84 kW/m.sup.2 and temperature has been approximately 1200° C. The burners have been on for the period of 8 seconds. After the burners have been switched off, vapour has been visible, and it has evaporated gradually from the firefighting suit. The suit has stayed on the dummy for other 120 seconds. The suit has been checked after the test has finished, it has shown no impairment and no roasting of the fabric. The test has been performed three times in total.

    (47) Then assessment of data from the sensors and averaging data from all the three tests have followed. After 120 seconds, incidence of pain has been registered in 23.7%, caused in 1.8% by first degree burns and in 22.8% by second and third degree burns in the area of back and chest. In our case, these have been rather scalds than burns. According to the standard, the assessment has been evaluated as compliant and the firefighting suit has been assessed as suitable for use as the firefighting means.

The test has run for 120 s, and the heat flow of burners has risen to 84 kW/m.sup.2 and temperature has been approximately 1200° C. The burners have been several times on for 8 seconds. After the burners have been switched off, vapour has been visible, and it has evaporated gradually from the firefighting suit. The suit has been checked after the test has finished, it has shown no impairment and no roasting of the fabric. The test has been performed three times in total.

    (49) Then assessment of data from the sensors and averaging data from all the three tests have followed.
