Prediction of the Development of Burns in a Worker Dressed in Protective Clothing in Case of Exposure to Flare Flame

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

A method for predicting the development of burn injury in a worker dressed in protective clothing is considered in case of short-term exposure to an open flame. The results of an experimental investigation of packets of materials in laboratory conditions using a thermal manikin are presented.
