ANSI ASTM F2040-2018 Standard Specification for Helmets Used for Recreational Snow Sports.pdf

1、Designation: F2040 18 An American National StandardStandard Specification forHelmets Used for Recreational Snow Sports1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2040; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the y

2、ear of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification defines performance requirements forhelmets used in nonmotorized recreational snow sports (

3、suchas skiing, snowboarding, and other alpine sports). This speci-fication is a performance standard and is not intended to restrictdesign. Although a helmet that meets this specification willhelp reduce the risk of some types of injuries to the head atslower speeds, the protection is limited. The u

4、ser is responsiblefor participating in the sport within his/her abilities and thenature of the snow conditions which may vary widely. Com-pliance with the common sense rules of the sports safety,including any applicable responsibility codes, is essential tohelp reduce the risk of personal injury.1.2

5、 All testing and requirements of this specification shallbe in accordance with Test Methods F1446, except where notedherein.1.3 Partial utilization of this specification is prohibited. Anystatement of compliance with this specification shall be acertification that the product meets all of the requir

6、ements ofthe specification in its entirety. A product that fails to meet anyone of the requirements of this specification is considered tohave failed the standard and should not be sold with anyindication that it meets parts of the standard.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-danc

Headforms3.1 Headforms to be used in this specification are asspecified in the section on Test Headforms of Test MethodsF1446. The appropriate size headform shall be selec

9、ted inaccordance with the section on Headform Size Selection ofTest Methods F1446 for the helmet to be tested.4. Anvils and Impact Velocities4.1 Anvils to be used for impact tests in this specificationare described as follows:4.1.1 Flat Anvil, as described in the section on Apparatus ofTest Methods

10、F1446.4.1.2 Hemispherical Anvil, as described in the section onApparatus of Test Methods F1446.4.1.3 Edge Anvil, constructed of solid steel in accordancewith Fig. 1.4.2 Impact Velocities:4.2.1 Impacts upon the flat anvil shall achieve a velocity of6.2 m/s (corresponding to a theoretical drop height

11、of 2.0 m).4.2.2 Impacts upon the hemispherical anvil shall achieve avelocity of 4.8 m/s (corresponding to a theoretical drop heightof 1.2 m).4.2.3 Impacts upon the edge anvil shall achieve a velocity of4.5 m/s (corresponding to a theoretical drop height of 1.0 m).4.2.4 The impact velocity shall be m

12、easured during the last40 mm of free-fall for each test and shall be within 3 % of thevelocities specified in 4.2.1, 4.2.2, and 4.2.3.5. Marking the Test Line5.1 The test line is shown in Fig. 2 and shall be marked inaccordance with Test Methods F1446.6. Conditioning and Number of Samples6.1 Four sa

13、mple helmets are required for each shell/linersize combination.6.2 Conditioning of the samples to be tested is described inthe section on Conditioning Environment of Test MethodsF1446, but differs as follows:6.2.1 Low TemperatureThe low temperature shall be 22to 28C.1This specification is under the
