Static Propensity of Air Force Utility Garments and the N-3B Modified Jacket.
Abstract
This report describes and gives results of tests performed to measure the static propensity of the Air Force regular issue cotton utility uniform, a proposed polyester/cotton utility uniform, and the N-3B modified flying jacket. Static potential (voltage) was measured on the test subject after rubbing contact and separation of various garments. Tests were conducted in an environmental chamber at 70 F - 20% RH; 90 F - 20% RH; 70 F - 55% RH; and 15 F with resulting humidity. On the basis of the tests conducted and on analysis of the results, the proposed polyester/cotton utility uniform and the N-3B modified flying jacket present no greater hazard in the generation of static electricity than the 100% cotton utility uniform now in service.
