AGING CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYAMIDE FIBROUS MATERIALS USED IN PERSONNEL DECELERATORS

Abstract

A service life evaluation program was inaugurated in January 1957 to determine the breakdown if any, of the fibrous materials used in decelerator assemblies. Ten (10) Type T-10 personnel decelerators, stored under normal warehouse storage conditions, were obtained for the evaluation. The decelerators had the oldest manufacturing dates (2-4 years old) available for decelerators which had never been used. Each year, for a period of four years, five decelerators were taken at random from the ten and samples of cloth and suspension lines removed for physical property evaluation.
