Abstract:
The thermal protection performance of fire suit is vital to the safety of firefighters. Using certain physical properties of fabrics to evaluate their thermal protection performance speeds up the process. This work aims to develop a TPP value prediction model that can be easily applied. Five properties of three types of Aramid 1414 made of the same material were tested, and the relationships between the physical properties of Aramid 1414 and its thermal protection performance (TPP value) were investigated. The results showed that the TPP value of the fabric had a positive correlation with grammage and air gap, and a negative correlation with the underfill factor. A stepwise regression analysis was used to solve the collinearity issue between the independent variables. Finally, a model for predicting TPP value by air gap and underfill factor was developed. The method adopted in this work reduced the number of independent variables in the prediction model, which is conducive to the application of the model.
