ISO 9150 Protective Clothing, Determination of Behavior of Materials by the Effect of Small Molten Metal Splashes

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 9150 standard. This international standard specifies a test method designed to evaluate the behavior of materials used for protective clothing when such materials are struck by small splashes of liquid metal, particularly when particles of molten steel are ejected into the material.

ISO 9150 Protective Clothing, Determination of Behavior of Materials by the Effect of Small Molten Metal Splashes

Applies to any bendable material or material assembly designed to protect workers from small splashes of molten metal.

The results obtained with this method allow the behavior of different materials subjected to this test to be compared under standardized conditions. They do not allow conclusions to be drawn regarding contacts with large splashes of molten cast iron or other molten metal, nor do they allow prediction of the behavior of complete garments under industrial conditions.

Clothing designed to protect the wearer against small splashes of molten metal is often subjected to high thermal loads. This international standard forms part of a series on clothing designed to protect against heat and fire.

The variety of conditions in which molten metal splashes may come into contact with the materials used for protective clothing makes it difficult to assess the hazards that may arise under the conditions of use.

Experience has shown that the most important protective function is the resistance to heat transfer through the protective clothing from molten metal drops hitting but splashing on the clothing surface.
