Laboratory Test Requirements for Marine Shock Isolation Seats

Abstract

This report provides preliminary guidance for laboratory testing of marine shock isolation seats. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a passive seat in reducing simulated wave impact loads in a laboratory before installation in a high-speed planing craft. It includes testing procedures, instrumentation system guidance, data processing requirements, test criteria, and test report contents. This guide presents a collection of Navy preferences and expectations that will be updated as new criteria or techniques are developed.
