EN ISO 12127-2 Clothing for Heat and Flame Protection - Determination of Contact Heat Conduction through Protective Clothing or Constituent Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 12127-2 testing. EN ISO 12127-2 specifies a test method designed to evaluate the heat transfer and behavior of materials used for protective clothing when such materials are struck by high-temperature metal particles, particularly when these are trapped in the folds of the suit under operating conditions.

The results obtained with this method allow comparison of the behavior of different materials undergoing this test under standardized conditions. They do not allow conclusions to be drawn regarding contact with large splashes of molten cast iron or other metal and do not allow prediction of the behavior of complete garments under industrial conditions.

Protective clothing designed to protect welders is exposed to high-temperature particles produced from the weld point to the weld environment. These hot particles are small splashes of molten metal, sparks and slag. When small spatters of molten metal disperse, they generate heat to the atmosphere, oxidize and begin to go from molten to solid.

The variety of conditions in which molten metal splashes and other hot particles may come into contact with materials used in welder's protective clothing makes it difficult to assess the hazards that may arise under use conditions.

The test method described in this section of EN ISO 12127 allows this heat transfer to be evaluated when a hot steel cylinder simulating a small hot particle is allowed to fall onto the material. Also, this method can be used to evaluate carbonization and hole formation in the material.
