Physiological Design Goals and Proposed Thermal Limits for U.S. Navy Thermal Garments: Proceedings of Two Conferences Sponsored by the Naval Medical Research and Development Command
Abstract
The proceedings of two conferences that were held to develop physiological limits and design goals for passive thermal garments are presented. These proceedings have not been achieved in the literature, but were in the form of reports submitted to the Office of Naval Research and Naval Medical Research and Development Command. This technical report has been published solely to archive these proceedings, which are of historic value. The first proceeding is entitled 'Proposed Thermal Limits for Divers: A Guide for Designers of Thermally Protective Equipment', held in July 1976. This proceedings sets the physiologic limits for both cold and heat exposure within which protective gear must maintain individuals. Total body and respiratory heat loss, core temperature, skin temperature, and hand and foot limits are discussed. A section on performance factors is also given.
