Protective Test System - Radiant Protective Performance (RPP)

Radiant heat exposure tester for composite fabric systems

  • Automatic or manual test operation
  • Pneumatically actuated water-cooled shutter
  • Small and portable

Related standards

  • ASTM F1939
  • ASTM F2702
  • ASTM F2733
  • NFPA 1971
  • NFPA 1977

Simple, fully-automated testing compliant to the applicable standards

The Radiant Protective Performance (RPP) device measures and predicts the time elapsed for radiant heat to penetrate through a protective composite fabric sample. Test results are automatically compared to the Empirical Performance Curve (also known the Stoll Curve), which predicts a second degree burn to human skin as a function of heat and time. The point of intersection between these two curves provides the composite fabric’s protective rating.

Highlights

  • Automatic or manual test operation
  • Pneumatically actuated water-cooled shutter for precise exposure control
  • Small and portable, the RPP test device fits in most standard fume hood
