Abstract

This paper describes research conducted to develop a better understanding of the effects of turnout materials on heat transmission and thermal energy storage in moisture preconditioned samples exposed to low level radiant heat. It utilized a newly developed laboratory apparatus and testing procedures to generate data on a range of materials used in the construction of firefighter turnouts.
