The method to be used is specified in the helmet standard. BS EN 13087-5:2012EN 13087-5:2012 (E) 6 5.2
28、Headform support, increasing load method 5.2.1 Principle The helmet is supported on a headform and a specified, varying force is applied to the retention system via an artificial jaw. In method (a) (see 5.2.3.1) the ultimate tensile strength of the system alone is measured. In method (b) (see 5.2.3.
29、2) the elongation of the system is measured as well. 5.2.2 Apparatus 5.2.2.1 General The apparatus shall include: a series of headforms; a rigid structure to support the headforms; an artificial jaw; a means of applying a variable tensile force to the artificial jaw; a means to measure the displacem
30、ent of the artificial jaw. An arrangement of a suitable apparatus is shown in Figure 1. 5.2.2.2 Test headforms Headforms, conforming to 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
31、(equivalent to codes A, E, J, M and O, respectively, EN 960:1994). 5.2.2.3 Rigid structure Rigid structure, capable of supporting the headform so that it does not move during the test. 5.2.2.4 Artificial jaw Artificial jaw, comprising two rigid cylindrical rollers of diameter (12,5 0,5) mm, with the
32、ir longitudinal axes separated by (75 2) mm. 5.2.2.5 Means of applying a known variable force to the artificial jaw Any suitable means may be used. 5.2.2.6 Means to measure the displacement of the artificial jaw Any suitable means may be used. BS EN 13087-5:2012EN 13087-5:2012 (E) 7 5.2.3 Procedure
33、5.2.3.1 Method (a) Mount the helmet on the appropriate headform, pass the chinstrap through and secure it around the artificial jaw. Apply the initial tensile force as specified in the appropriate helmet standard to the artificial jaw. Increase the force at a rate of (20 2) N/min until the artificia
34、l jaw is released due to failure of the retention system. Record the maximum force measured during the test and the mode of failure of the retention system. 5.2.3.2 Method (b) Mount the helmet on the appropriate headform, pass the chinstrap through and secure it around the artificial jaw. Apply the
35、initial tensile force as specified in the appropriate helmet standard in order to ensure that the fastening device is correctly tightened. Note the position, P0, of the load bearing spindle to the nearest millimetre. Increase the force over a period of (30 3) s up to the intermediate force specified
36、 in the appropriate helmet standard. Maintain this force for (120 3) s, then note the position, P1, of the load bearing spindle to the nearest millimetre, and, if required by the appropriate helmet standard, re-measure the width of the chinstrap. Increase the force at a rate of (500 50) N/min until
37、the artificial jaw is released due to failure of the retention system. Record the maximum force measured during the test and the mode of failure of the retention system. 5.2.4 Test report Method (a) Report the maximum force measured during the test and the mode of failure of the retention system. Me
38、thod (b) Calculate and report the elongation of the retention system as the difference between positions P0and P1. Report the maximum force measured during the test and the mode of failure of the retention system, and, if required, the width of the chinstrap. 5.3 Hook support, dynamic load method 5.
39、3.1 Principle The helmet, including retention system, is fitted to a headform which is then subjected to a sudden downward force. The maximum and residual displacements of the headform are measured. 5.3.2 Apparatus 5.3.2.1 General The apparatus shall include: a series of headforms; a helmet support
40、hook assembly; BS EN 13087-5:2012EN 13087-5:2012 (E) 8 a rigid structure to support the helmet and loading system; a falling mass and associated guidance system; a means to measure impact speed; a means to measure the position and displacement of the headform in a vertical direction. An arrangement
41、of a suitable apparatus is shown in Figure 2. 5.3.2.2 Test headforms 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, 515, 535, 555, 575, 585, 605 and 625 (equivalent to codes
42、 A, C, E, G, J, K, M and O, respectively, EN 960:1994). Each headform, together with the parts attached to it, shall have a total mass of (15 0,5) kg. 5.3.2.3 Helmet support hook assembly The helmet support hook assembly shall be made from steel and is shown in Figure 3. 5.3.2.4 Rigid structure The
43、rigid structure shall adequately support the helmet and loading system during the test. 5.3.2.5 Falling mass and guidance system A guidance system shall be provided to enable the falling mass of (10 0,1) kg to be dropped in guided fall on to the metal end stop. The guidance system shall be such as t
44、o ensure that the falling mass falls with an impact speed of no less than 95 % of that which would theoretically obtain for a free fall. 5.3.2.6 Means to measure impact speed Means shall be provided to measure the speed of the falling mass at a distance of no more than 60 mm prior to impact, to with
45、in an accuracy of 1 %. The impact speed shall be measured during the commissioning of the apparatus. It need not be done for each test. 5.3.2.7 Means to observe the position and displacement of the headform in a vertical direction Any suitable means may be used. 5.3.3 Procedure Support the helmet fr
46、om the rigid structure by means of the helmet support hook passing through a suitable hole drilled through the point of the helmet which corresponds with the central vertical axis of the headform. Insert the headform into the helmet and locate the guide so that the falling mass is free to move only
47、along a vertical line that passes through the point at which the helmet is supported. Fasten the retention system in accordance with the fitting instructions. BS EN 13087-5:2012EN 13087-5:2012 (E) 9 Measure to the nearest millimetre the vertical position of the point of application of the force with
48、out the falling mass resting on the system. Allow the mass to fall on to the anvil through the required height to give the impact energy specified in the helmet standard. Measure to the nearest millimetre the maximum dynamic displacement of the point of application of the force. At between 115 s and
49、 125 s after the test, measure to the nearest millimetre the residual displacement of the point of application of the force whilst the falling mass is resting on the anvil. If specified in the helmet standard, ascertain whether the retention system can be released using only one hand whilst the falling mass is resting on the anvil. 5.3.4 Test report Report the maximum dynamic displacement and the residual displacement of the point of ap
