4.5. Test methods.

4.5.1 Hydrostatic resistance. The hydrostatic resistance of the sealed seem areas of the raincoat shaIl be determined in accordance with Method 5514 of FED-STD-191 except for the following: The sealed seam area of the fabricated raincoat, sample unit, shall be tested without cutting or otherwise damaging the raincoat. the seam shall be flexed 10 times in the following manner. The raincoat sealed seam shall be grasped using the thumb and fingers of each hand in such a manner that the thumbs are parallel to each other and approximately 1/2 inch beyond (outside) the edges of the sealant. With the seams held firmly in the above manner, the thumbs shall be brought together so cloth and sealant are is contact. The sealed area shall be flexed vigorously 10 times with the cloth and sealant in contact with itself throughout test. The flexing action shall be such that when fully flexed in either direction there shall be a minimum of two inches between each thumb nail when the flexed area is fully extended with the test area in contact with itself' at all times. The test area shall be visually examined for the characteristics indicated in 3.11.1 prior to conducting the hydrostatic test. The hydrostatic test shall be made with the sealed seam in the center of the 4-1/2 inch diameter test area with the uncoated side of the seam in contact with the water. The hydrostatic head shall be raised to 25 on each sealed seam (three on the cape and two on the coat) for a total of five. The five determinations shall be reported separately as pass or fail . No more than one of the five areas tested shall show 1 leakage in less than 10 minutes. A failure of the raincoat is defined as a hydrostatic failure in two or more of the five determinations.

4.5.2. Blocking resistance. Method 5872 of FED-STD-191 shall be followed except that the sample unit shall be one completely fabricated raincoat and that the test specimen shall be prepared by folding the raincoat so that two inner sealed seam surfaces are superimposed and are in the center of the glass plates.
