1、Designation: F 2266 03Standard Specification forMasses Used in Testing Rescue Systems and Components1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2266; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revis
2、ion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification defines the masses to be used whentesting rescue systems and components.1.2 The masses represent personnel a
3、nd equipment that maybe attached to a rescue system or components. However, themasses do not represent any particular type or kind of rescueror equipment.1.2.1 The masses chosen have been used in the past or arein current use in testing of rescue systems and components.Limiting testing to the masses
4、 listed in this specification allowsmeaningful comparisons between past, current, and future testresults.1.3 The user of this specification shall determine whichmass(es) represent(s) the personnel and equipment attached tothe system or component under test.1.4 For the purposes of this specification,
5、 mass and weightare synonymous when the object(s) representing the mass(es)are weighed in air anywhere on Earth.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate saf

BACKGROUNDX1.1 The listed masses have had descriptive terms appliedto them by the originators or users to de
15、note what the massrepresents. However, these descriptors have not been appliedconsistently between various users and originators. For thisreason, the mass value itself or the ASTM classification shallbe used when referring to the test masses.X1.2 To assist a user in determining what the test massesw
16、ere intended to represent, for reference purposes only, thedescriptors follow. Regardless of the descriptor, the user mustdetermine the proper mass to represent the test load.X1.2.1 80 kgA single climber (recreational or sport); therescue subject.X1.2.2 100 kgA single rescuer; the rescue subject and
17、medical equipment (for example, subject in a rescue litter).X1.2.3 136 kg1 person load (a single fully encumberedfirefighter).X1.2.4 200 kgA rescue load; 2 rescuers.X1.2.5 280 kg3 person (rescue) load; 2 person load (2fully encumbered firefighters) (272 kg).ASTM International takes no position respe
