Field Evaluation of Experimental Crash-Crew Firefighter's Facepiece.

Abstract

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF) under the sponsorship of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Develoment Office (CEEDO), Detachment 1 ADTC, Tyndall Air Force Base, conducted a field evaluation of an Abcite-over-coated experimental crash-crew firefighter's gold facepiece to determine if the experimental facepiece was more durable than the standard item. Laboratory results had previously shown the experimental facepiece to have at least 10 times better abrasion resistance than the standard. (Author)
