TEST METHODS

1. The film side of the laminated cloth shall face the water. The free stream air velocity shall be 550 ± 50 fpm as measured at least 2 inches from any surface. The test shall be for 24 hours and weight measurements shall be taken only at the start and completion of the test.

At the start of the 24 hour test period, the air gap between the water surface and the back of the specimen shall be 3/4 ± 1/16 inch. Five specimens shall be tested. The test chamber shall be 73.4 ± 1°F and relative humidity shall be 50 ± 2%. The face of the rim of the test dish shall project 1/32" into the tunnel.

2. The film side of the laminated cloth shall face the water. The free stream air velocity shall be 550 ± 50 fpm as measured at least 2 inches from any surface. The test shall be for 2 hours and weight measurements shall be taken only at the start and completion of the test.

Five specimens shall be tested. Specimens shall be sealed in any manner which prevents wicking and/or leakage of water out of the cup. The test chamber shall be 73.4 ± 1°F and relative humidity shall be 50 ± 2%. The face of the rim of the test dish shall project 1/32" into the tunnel.

3. The water pressure shall be applied to the film side of the laminated cloth.

4. The film side of the laminated cloth shall contact the water. The hydrostatic head shall be

30 inches (1.1 psi) and shall be held for 3 minutes. Leakage is defined as the appearance of water any place within the 4.5 inch diameter test area. The test may be performed using any device which tests the same specimen area at the equivalent pressure. In case of dispute, the apparatus described in FED-STD-191A Method 5516 shall be used.

5. Ten warp and ten fill specimens 3.25" x 4.5" shall be selected from each sample unit. The

3.25" dimension is the test direction. Specimens shall be flexed for 20,000 cycles as

Uniforms Specifications Page 7 of 84 specified in ASTM-D 2907 and as follows. Mark the film side of each specimen with two lines 1.7 inches apart and perpendicular to the test direction. The area between the lines is the test area and shall be centered on the film side of the specimen. Wrap the specimens around fully extended pistons with the film side out. The test area lines shall meet evenly and shall line up with the edges of the pistons.

Clamp in place making sure the clamps are not in the test area. Check specimen for smoothness and tautness (wrinkles cause improper flexing). The distance between the pistons shall be 1.7" in the open position and 0.5" in the closed position as measured from the bottom of the upper piston and top of the lower piston. Place the test apparatus with mounted specimens in a test chamber at -25 ± 2°F for a one hour conditioning period and then flex in the test chamber at -25 ± 2°F. After flexing, test for water permeability as in footnote 4/ except that the orifice of the tester shall be modified to accommodate the smaller specimen size as shown in Attachment 1.

6. One 1 yard by full width specimen shall be selected from each sample unit. The specimens shall be tested after ten (10) home laundry cycles. Laundry testing should be performed in accordance with the procedure specified in Machine Cycle 3, Wash Temperature III, and Drying Procedure Aiii of AATCC 135. The specimen shall be tested for water permeability at three sites across the width of the specimen according to footnote 4/.

7. One 1 yard by full width specimen shall be selected from each sample unit. The specimens shall be professionally dry-cleaned ten (10) times with a pure distilled solvent rinse. The specimens shall be tested for water permeability at three sites across the width of the specimen according to footnote 4/.

8. The water pressure shall be applied to the film side of the laminated cloth from below the test specimen. The maximum pressure of 25 psi shall be attained in 2 minutes ± 20 seconds and shall be applied for 5 minutes. Leakage is defined as the appearance of water any place within the test area.

9. Place a 6" x 6" piece of blotting paper on a flat surface and cover with a 10" x 10" test specimen with the film side up. Weigh out 2.0 ± 0.1 grams of solid contaminant or pipette

2.0 ml of liquid contaminant. Place the contaminant on the center of the specimen and cover with a 6" x 6" piece of glassine paper. Place a 4 pound weight on the glassine paper directly over the contaminated area. Allow the weight to remain on the specimen for 30 minutes. Remove the weight and glassine paper and allow the specimen to sit undisturbed for an additional 30 minutes. Wipe off any excess contaminant using a fresh piece of blotting paper and test for water permeability as in footnote 8/ except that the water pressure shall be applied for 3 minutes.

10. One specimen per sample unit shall be tested for water permeability after exposure to synthetic perspiration. The specimen shall be not less than six inches in diameter. The test cups shall accommodate this size specimen and shall have a depth of at least one inch. The cups shall be sealed to prevent leakage. The solution shall contact the fabric side of the laminate.

Synthetic perspiration shall be prepared by stirring the following ingredients into 500 ml of distilled water:

3 grams sodium chloride 1 gram predigested protein 1 gram n-propyl propionate

0.5 gram lecithin (phosphatidyl choline)

The predigested protein shall contain the following amino acids:

Uniforms Specifications Page 8 of 84

Ingredient Milligrams (mg) Lysine 82.5 Histidine 27.5 Arginine 40.0 Aspartic acid 72.5 Threonine 42.5 Serine 50.0 Glutamic acid 197.5 Proline 92.5 Glycine 22.5 Alanine 28.7 Cystine 4.7 Valine 66.2 Methionine 30.0 Isolencine 53.8 Leucine 87.5 Tyrosine 51.3 Phenylalanie 48.8 Tryptophane 18.8

The solution shall be stirred continuously and heated to 50 ± 1°C, then covered and cooled to approximately 35°C.

The solution shall be stirred such that any solid particles are suspended in solution and poured into the test cup. The cup shall be inverted to allow the synthetic perspiration to evaporate through the specimen.

After the solution has evaporated through the specimen, such that no more than 0.125 inch of solution remains, the specimen shall be removed from the cup, rinsed in warm water, dried and tested for water permeability as specified in footnote 8/ except that the water pressure shall be applied for 3 minutes.

11. A minimum of 3 straight seams and 2 cross-over seams should be tested prior to laundry cycle testing and remain waterproof (no leakage) when tested at 2 psi for 3 minutes with the seam tape side facing up, away from the water challenge. Leakage is defined as the appearance of water any place within the 4.5 inch diameter test area since the seam tape process can damage the fabric adjacent to the tape. The test may be performed using any device which tests the same specimen area at the equivalent pressure. In case of dispute, the apparatus described in FED-STD-191A Method 5516 shall be used.

12. A minimum of 3 straight seams and 2 cross-over seams should be tested after ten (10) home laundry cycles and remain waterproof (no leakage) when tested at 2 psi for 3 minutes with the seam tape side facing up, away from the water challenge. Leakage is defined as the appearance of water any place within the 4.5 inch diameter test area since the seam tape process can damage the fabric adjacent to the tape. The test may be performed using any device which tests the same specimen area at the equivalent pressure. In case of dispute, the apparatus described in FED-STD-191A Method 5516 shall be used. Laundry testing should be performed in accordance with the procedure specified in Machine Cycle 3, Wash Temperature III, and Drying Procedure Aiii of ANSI/AATCC 135.

13. A minimum of 3 straight seams and 2 cross-over seams should be tested after ten (10) dry clean cycles and remain waterproof (no leakage) when tested at 2 psi for 3 minutes with the seam tape side facing up, away from the water challenge. Leakage is defined as the appearance of water any place within the 4.5 inch diameter test area since the seam tape process can damage the fabric adjacent to the tape. The test may be performed using any

Uniforms Specifications Page 9 of 84 device which tests the same specimen area at the equivalent pressure. In case of dispute, the apparatus described in FED-STD-191A Method 5516 shall be used.
