ASTM D 4108 Open-Flame Test -Standard
ASTM D 4108 Test Method for Thermal Protective Performance of Materials for Clothing by Open-Flame Method
ASTM D 4108 Open-Flame Test –Scope
This test method rates textile materials for thermal resistance and insulation when exposed to a convective energy level of about 2.0 cal/cm2 (8.3 W/cm2) for a short duration. It is applicable to woven fabrics, knit fabrics, battings and nonwoven fabrics intended for use as clothing for protection against a chance, short exposure to open flames. it is not intended for evaluating materials exposed to any other thermal exposure such as radiant energy or molten metal splash. This method is a useful research and development tool.
