ASTM F2040-2006 Standard Specification for Helmets Used for Recreational Snow Sports《娱乐性雪上运动用头盔的标准规范》.pdf

1、Designation: F 2040 06An American National StandardStandard Specification forHelmets Used for Recreational Snow Sports1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2040; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) 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

4、 user 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

5、.2 All testing and requirements of this specification shallbe in accordance with Test Methods F 1446, except wherenoted herein.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 req

6、uirements 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.2.

Headforms3.1 Headforms to be used in this specification are asspecified in the section on Test Headforms of Test MethodsF 1446. The appropriate size headform shall be selected inaccordance w

8、ith the section on Headform Size Selection ofTest Methods F 1446 for the helmet to be tested.4. Marking the Test Line4.1 The test line is shown in Fig. 1 and shall be marked inaccordance with Test Methods F 1446.5. Conditioning and Number of Samples5.1 Four sample helmets are required for each shell

9、/linersize combination.5.2 Conditioning of the samples to be tested is described inthe section on Conditioning Environment of Test MethodsF 1446, but differs as follows:5.2.1 Low TemperatureThe low temperature shall be -22to -28C.5.2.2 High TemperatureThe high temperature shall be 32to 38C.6. Retent

10、ion System Testing6.1 The Dynamic Strength Retention Test shall be com-pleted in accordance with Test Methods F 1446 prior to impacttesting.6.2 Dynamic Strength Retention Test The hot, cold, andwet helmets shall be subjected to the Dynamic StrengthRetention Test. Place the helmet on the appropriate

11、sizeheadform on the test device described in the section onApparatus of Test Methods F 1446.6.2.1 Place the twin bar (jaw) system with rod and dropweight attached within the fastened retention system.6.2.2 Mark the position of the twin bar with preload anddrop weights in position.6.2.3 Drop a 4-kg s

12、liding weight a distance of 0.6 m.6.2.4 The retention system shall remain intact withoutelongating more than 30 mm.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on SportsEquipment and Facilities and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F08.53 onHeadgear and Helmets.Curr

Anvils and Impact Velocities7.1 Anvils to be used for impact tests in this specification

16、are described as follows:7.1.1 Flat Anvil, as described in the section on Apparatus ofTest Methods F 1446.7.1.2 Hemispherical Anvil, as described in the section onApparatus of Test Methods F 1446.7.1.3 Edge Anvil, constructed of solid steel in accordancewith Fig. 2.7.2 Impact Velocities:7.2.1 Impact

17、s upon the flat anvil shall achieve a velocity of6.2 m/s (corresponding to a theoretical drop height of 2.0 m).7.2.2 Impacts upon the hemispherical anvil shall achieve avelocity of 4.8 m/s (corresponding to a theoretical drop heightof 1.2 m).7.2.3 Impacts upon the edge anvil shall achieve a velocity

18、 of4.5 m/s (corresponding to a theoretical drop height of 1.0 m).7.2.4 The impact velocity shall be measured during the last40 mm of free-fall for each test and shall be within 3 % of thevelocities specified in 7.2.1, 7.2.2, and 7.2.3.8. Impact Sites8.1 Centers of impact can be located anywhere on o

19、r abovethe test line with the anvils aligned in any orientation.FIG. 1 Marking the Test LineF20400628.2 The theoretical center3of each impact site shall beseparated from the theoretical center of other impact sites by aminimum of 120 mm.9.
