25、der to implement this part of EN 13087, at least the following parameters need to be specified in the appropriate helmet standard: a) performance requirements; b) number of samples; c) preparation of samples; d) sequence of conditioning; e) sequence of tests; f) method of test - 5.2 or 5.3; g) sizes
26、 of headforms; h) type of striker or anvil; i) fitting instructions; j) number and location of impact points on helmets; k) for each impact, the impact energy, including tolerance, of the falling mass for the falling mass method, or the impact speed, including tolerance, of the helmet/headform assem
27、bly for the falling headform method. BS EN 13087-2:2012EN 13087-2:2012 (E) 6 5 Test methods 5.1 General Testing shall be performed in the ambient conditions specified in EN 13087-1. When the test method specifies that the helmet shall be fitted to a headform, this shall be done in accordance with th
28、e appropriate helmet standard. Two test methods are specified. The appropriate helmet standard will state which of these methods is applicable. Annex A refers to the uncertainty of measurement. 5.2 Falling mass method 5.2.1 Principle A specified striker is allowed to fall with specified energy on to
29、 a helmet which is fitted to a rigidly mounted headform. The transmitted force is measured by means of a force transducer located beneath the headform. 5.2.2 Apparatus 5.2.2.1 Base The base shall be solid, made of steel or a combination of steel and concrete and have a mass of not less than 500 kg.
30、At least the uppermost 25 mm shall consist of steel, which shall be firmly attached to the concrete if present. No part of the base and headform mounting assembly shall have a resonant frequency liable to affect the measurements. NOTE See 5.2.2.6.2 regarding frequency response. 5.2.2.2 Test headform
31、s The headforms shall comply with EN 960:2006, 2.2, 3.1.2 and 3.2. The sizes to be used are specified in the helmet standard, but shall be selected from size designations 495, 535, 575, 605 and 625 (equivalent to codes A, E, J, M and O, respectively, EN 960:1994). When in the upright position, the h
32、eadform shall be positioned so that its central vertical axis coincides with those of the force transducer and striker. 5.2.2.3 Striker Two types of striker are specified - a flat one and a hemispherical one. The type of striker to be used is specified in the appropriate helmet standard. The striker
33、 shall be made of steel and have a mass of (5 0,05) kg. The flat striker shall have a flat striking face of diameter (100 2) mm, with the edge of its circumference radiused to nominally 2 mm. The hemispherical striker shall have a hemispherical striking face of radius (50 1) mm. 5.2.2.4 Guidance sys
34、tem Means shall be provided for the striker to be dropped in free or guided fall. The guidance system shall be such as to ensure that the striker: shall be positioned above the headform so that its central axis coincides with the central vertical axis of the force transducer; and falls on to the req
35、uired impact point with an impact speed of not less than 95% of that which would theoretically obtain for a free fall. BS EN 13087-2:2012EN 13087-2:2012 (E) 7 5.2.2.5 Means to measure impact speed Unless free fall is employed, means shall be provided to measure the striker speed at a distance of no
36、more than 60 mm prior to impact, to within an accuracy of 1 %. The impact speed shall be measured during the commissioning of the apparatus. It need not be done for each impact, but has to be sufficiently regular to comply with 5.2.2.4. 5.2.2.6 Instrumentation to record and analyse the data 5.2.2.6.
37、1 Force transducer The non-inertial force transducer shall be firmly attached to the base and arranged so that its sensitive axis coincides with the vertical axis passing through the centre of gravity of the headform and the centre of the striker. The transducer shall be capable of withstanding a co
38、mpressive force of 40 kN without damage. 5.2.2.6.2 Signal conditioning instrumentation The instrumentation shall provide for the complete measuring channel to have a frequency response in accordance with channel frequency class (CFC) 600 of ISO 6487. If digital sampling is employed, a sample rate of
39、 at least 6 kHz shall be used. The required low pass filter may be included within the computer software. Means shall be provided to record the maximum force transmitted during impact, to the nearest 10 N. 5.2.3 Procedure Within 1 min of its removal from conditioning (this time applies to temperatur
40、e conditioning only), fit the helmet to the appropriate headform in the manner in which it is intended to be worn on the head and allow the striker to fall on to the specified impact point. The impact energy shall be as specified in the appropriate helmet standard. If the design of the helmet permit
41、s direct contact between the striker and the headform, the test shall not be performed and the result shall be declared a failure. 5.2.4 Test report Record and report the maximum force transmitted during the impact to the nearest 10 N. 5.3 Falling headform method 5.3.1 Principle The helmet to be tes
42、ted is fitted to a headform and the assembly is allowed to fall with specified speed on to a rigidly mounted anvil. The deceleration of the headform is measured by means of a tri-axial accelerometer located within the headform. 5.3.2 Apparatus 5.3.2.1 Base The base shall be solid, made of steel or a
43、 combination of steel and concrete and have a mass of not less than 500 kg. At least the uppermost 25 mm shall consist of steel, which shall be firmly attached to the concrete if present. No part of the base and anvil assembly shall have a resonant frequency liable to affect the measurements. NOTE S
44、ee 5.3.2.6.2 regarding frequency response. BS EN 13087-2:2012EN 13087-2:2012 (E) 8 5.3.2.2 Anvil Two types of anvil are specified - a flat one and a kerbstone one. Both shall be made of steel. The anvil to be used is specified in the appropriate helmet standard. The flat anvil shall have a flat impa
45、ct face of diameter (130 3) mm, with the edge of its circumference radiused to nominally 2 mm. The kerbstone anvil shall have two faces, each inclined at (52,5 2,5) to the vertical and meeting along a striking edge with a radius of (15 0,5) mm. The height shall be not less than 50 mm and the length
46、not less than 125 mm. 5.3.2.3 Guidance system Means shall be provided for the headform/helmet assembly to be dropped in free or guided fall. The guidance system shall provide for the positioning of any impact point on the helmet vertically above the anvil, within a radius of 10 mm. It shall be such
47、as to ensure that the headform/helmet assembly falls on to the anvil with an impact speed of not less than 95 % of that which would theoretically obtain for a free fall. Its characteristics shall not affect the measurement of acceleration of the headform/helmet assembly. 5.3.2.4 Means to measure imp
48、act speed Unless free fall is employed, means shall be provided to measure the headform/helmet assembly speed at a distance of not more than 60 mm prior to impact, to within an accuracy of 1 %. 5.3.2.5 Test headforms The headforms shall comply with EN 960:2006, 2.2, 2.12, 3.1.1, 3.2. The sizes to be
49、 used are specified in the helmet standard, but shall be selected from size designations 495, 535, 575, 605 and 625 (equivalent to codes A, E, J, M and O, respectively, EN 960:1994). 5.3.2.6 Instrumentation to record and analyse the data 5.3.2.6.1 Accelerometer The tri-axial accelerometer shall be firmly attached to the headform near to its centre of gravity. NOTE ISO 6487 recommends that the Z axis of the accelerometer should coincide with the vertical axis passing throu
