EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 12127-1 testing. EN ISO 12127-1 specifies a test method for the determination of contact heat conduction. It can be applied to protective clothing (including hand protectors) and its constituent materials intended to protect against high contact temperatures.
Protective clothing designed to protect against heat and flame may be exposed to direct contact with hot substances or hot surfaces. The diversity of such contact conditions makes it difficult to assess the hazards that may arise from high temperature.
The test method described in this section of EN ISO 12127 allows this heat transfer to be evaluated when a heating roller and the garment material are brought into contact with each other. This part of EN ISO 12127 forms part of a set of standards for clothing designed to protect against heat and fire.
The heating cylinder is heated to and maintained at the contact temperature, and a test sample is placed in the calorimeter. The heating cylinder is lowered onto the test sample supported by the calorimeter, or alternatively, the calorimeter with the sample is lifted onto the heating cylinder. In both cases, the process is performed at a constant speed. The threshold time is determined by monitoring the temperature of the calorimeter.
Three circular test specimens with a diameter of 80 mm should be taken for each contact temperature from the product or a piece of material for which the product is intended. If a sample does not pass the performance standard, another set of three samples should be tested.
