Test Results of Air-Permeable Saratoga(Trademark) Hammer Suit to Challenge by Chemical Warfare Agents

Abstract

Swatches from an air-permeable Tex-Shield SARATOGA(TM) Hammer Suit were challenged with liquid droplets of sarin (GB) and mustard (HI)) using modifications of the convective permeation test procedure described in TOP 8- 2-501. The cumulative mass of each agent that permeated each swatch was determined over time. The results for all swatches were used to determine a weighted-average cumulative mass for the suit. From that data, a physiologically derived breakthrough time was calculated for comparison purposes.
