소방용 특수방화복의 열보호 성능 평가를 위해 대류와 복사 열원을 이용한 시험방법을 비교하였다. 특히 특수방화복을 구성하는 겉감, 중간층, 안감이 각각 열보호 성능에 미치는 영향을 대류와 복사 열원에 대해 비교하였다. 대류 열원에 대한 열보호 성능시험은 KS K ISO 9151, 복사 열원에 대한 시험은 KS K ISO 6942 그리고 대류와 복사열원을 함께 사용하는 시험은 KS K ISO 17492의 방법에 따라 수행하였다. 같은 입사 열유속 조건($80kW/m^2$)에서 시험했을 때 대류 열원에 비해 복사 열원에 대한 열전달지수($t_{12}$, $t_{24}$) 값이 보다 크게 나왔다. 이는 대류에 비해 복사에 의한 영향이 느리게 나타났음을 의미한다. 대류 열원에 대해서는 안감이 열보호 성능에 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤고 이어서 중간층, 겉감 순서였다. 그러나 복사 열원에 대해서는 안감, 겉감, 중간층 순서로 열보호 성능에 미치는 영향이 컸다. 대류와 복사는 열전달 메카니즘이 근본적으로 다르며, 열원이 달라지면 재질 구성에 따라 열보호 성능 결과가 다르게 나올 수 있다. 따라서 특수방화복의 열보호 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 대류 열원 뿐만 아니라 복사 열원에 대한 시험도 중요함을 확인하였다.

소방보호복은 고열유속에 의한 화상방지를 위해 3층 이상의 복합소재로 구성되어 있으며, 각 소재 사이는 공기 간극이 존재한다. 화재에 의한 고열유속 노출 시 공기 간극 내에서의 열전달은 대류와 복사에 의해 주로 발생하며, 그로 인해 간극의 크기에 따라서 비선형 특징의 열 저항 크기를 갖게 된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 보호복 소재 사이의 여러 가지 공기 간극(0~7 mm)에 대한 보호복의 열 보호성능을 자세히 파악하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 복사 열 유속 입사시에 시간에 따른 각 소재의 온도 변화뿐만 아니라, 열 보호성능을 가장 효과적으로 나타낼 수 있는 지표(Radiant Protective Performance, RPP) 값의 공기간극에 대한 변화 특성을 파악하였다. 공기간극이 증가할수록 단열효과가 커짐으로 인해 후면의 온도는 낮아지고, RPP는 커짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 일정 열유속 조건에서 공기간극에 대한 RPP 값은 선형적인 특성을 나타내었고, 그러한 결과를 바탕으로 다양한 입사 열유속 및 공기 간극 조건에 대해 비교적 간단한 형태의 RPP 지표 예측 식을 제안하였고, 좋은 예측 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, Aimed to develop technology to ensure the safety of firefighters responding to hydrogen incidents and to review the performance of protective super absorbent polymer (SAP) that could help maintain the thermal protection performance of equipment with protective properties. Tests were conducted, including bench-scale and full-scale thermal exposure tests, to review the protective performance of SAP using firefighting garments commonly used by firefighters. The results showed that without SAP application, 2nd degree burn areas were measured at 9.4%, and 3rd degree burn areas at 7.7%. In contrast, when SAP was applied, the percentage of 2nd degree burn areas decreased to 7% on the lower body, and there was no temperature rise causing 3rd degree burns. Therefore, it is expected that by applying SAP to the outer surface of firefighter garments, even under temporarily high temperature conditions such as hydrogen jet flames, thermal damage to firefighters could be protected for a certain period.

보호복 섬유 및 재료의 개발을 통해 나아진 단열 성능을 제공함에도 불구하고 보호복의 화상 방지는 아직도 중요한 사항이다. 화염으로부터의 보호성능을 보장받기 위해서 보호복의 정확한 성능검증이 필요하며, 열보호 특성을 정확히 파악하기 위해 ISO 등은 시험방법을 표준화하여 제시하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 경우, 높은 열유속 조건에 대해 보호복의 열보호 성능을 시험하는 것으로 되어 있어, 고열유속에 의한 시편의 파괴가 일어나기 쉽다. 그러므로 낮은 열유속 조건에서 보호복의 열보호 성능을 측정하는 방법이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 낮은 열유속에 대한 열보호 성능을 측정할 수 있는 화상 및 통증유발시간에 기초한 개선된 RPP(복사열 보호 성능) 지수와 그의 측정방법을 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 열보호성능 측정 방법을 실험을 통해 확인하고, 보호복의 비정상열전달특성을 파악하였다. 또한 기존의 여러 가지 열보호성능지표들과 제안지표와의 관계를 제시하였다.

In spite of the growing importance of landscaping trees, the rate of flawed and withered trees damaged by pest, disease, drought or frost is increasing. In order to evaluate the performance of the Tree Protective Pad, which are developed to reduce the failure ratio in landscape planting, the tree protective pad for 'digging', 'pest controlling', and 'insulating' are tested based on the five functional criteria; moisturizing effect, wither preventive effect, pest and disease control, thermal effect, tensile strength, and environmental performance. The result of this study is as follows. The moisturizing effect of the tree protective pad for digging is found to be outstanding. According to the result of testing the pad on trees, in particular, it is better than jute tape in wither preventive effect, which means it is expected to prevent flaw and wilt from planting during the improper seasons like summertime. The experiment of installing the protective tree pad for pest controlling to the trunk of Quercus mongolica shows that preventive effect of the pad from diseases and insects is superior, and it also has economical effect by reducing the use of agricultural chemicals. The comparative test of the pad for insulating and jute tape proves that the temperature of the pad is about $2^{\circ}C$ higher than outside. The rate of tensile strength and biodegradation of the pad exceeds the optimal level, so it is revealed that the pad may be the work efficient and environment-friendly product. Likewise, by timely irrigating trees, the tree protective pad economically prevents trees from pest, disease,drought or frost, which may be caused by improper seasonal or delayed planting. As a means of reducing the flaw and facilitating the growth of trees, the exceptional performance of the pad is expected to effectively used in landscape planting and management.

As consciousness of safety becomes an important social issue, the demand for protective clothing is increasing. Conventional flame-retardant cotton working wear has low durability, and working wear with m-aramid fibers are stiff, heavy, less permeable, and expensive. In this study, recycled m-aramid and cotton have been blended to produce woven fabric of different compositions to enhance high performance and comfort to solve aforementioned problems. The fabrics were analyzed according to constituents and various structural factors. Mechanical properties were measured using KES-FB system. The measured thermal properties are TGA, $Q_{max}$, TPP and RPP. Fabric with polyurethane yarn covered by m-aramid/cotton spun yarn is observed to have good wearability. The fabric of open end spun yarn showed more stiffness than that of ring spun yarn. The sample with the high count of yarn has more smooth surface. In addition, high m-aramid content fabric is considered to have relatively high stiffness when using as clothing. In TGA the fabric with higher m-aramid content showed more stable decomposition behavior. The fabric having rough surface showed lower heat transfer properties in $Q_{max}$. The influence of the fabric thickness was important in convection and radiant heat test.

Background: Significant technological development and changes happened in the tractor industries. Contrariwise, the test procedures of the major standard development organizations (SDO's) remained unchanged or with a little modification over the years, demanding new tractor test standards or improvement of existing ones for tractor performance, safety, and comfort. Purpose: This study focuses on reviewing the research trends regarding performance, safety and comfort evaluation of agricultural tractors. Based on this review, few recommendations were proposed to revise or improve the current test standards. Review: Tractor power take-off power test using the DC electric dynamometer reduced human error in the testing process and increased the accuracy of the test results. GPS signals were used to determine acceleration and converted into torque. High capacity double extended octagonal ring dynamometer has been designed to measure drawbar forces. Numerical optimization methodology has been used to design three-point hitch. Numerous technologies, driving strategies, and transmission characteristics are being considered for reducing emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants. Engine emission control technology standards need to be revised to meet the exhaust regulations for agricultural tractors. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program has been used to design Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS). Program and methodology has been presented for testing tractor brake systems. Whole-body vibration emission levels have been found to be very dependent upon the nature of field operation performed, and the test track techniques required development/adaptation to improve their suitability during standardized assessment. Emphasizes should be given to improve visibility and thermal environment inside the cab for tractor operator. Tractors need to be evaluated under electromagnetic compatibility test conditions due to large growing of electronic devices. Research trends reviewed in this paper can be considered for possible revision or improvement of tractor performance, safety, and comfort test standards.

To prevent the rusting of steel, a variety of finishing materials has been applied. When steel is exposed to an extreme chloride environment, however, the thermal performance and aging of the finishing materials cause the material to lose its rust protective performance. In this study, an accelerated corrosion test was performed on five different finishing materials for steel, to determine the critical values of corrosion. As the result, the critical value of corrosion was found with no coat between 0.58mg/d㎡ and 0.73mg/d㎡, with urethane coat between 7.89mg/d㎡~8.46mg/d㎡, with one-layered red lead coat between 57.95mg/d㎡ and 69.48mg/d㎡, and with staleness201 between 80.73mg/d㎡ and 89.35mg/d㎡.

This study evaluated the validity of a newly developed mobility protocol examining the comfort functions and requirements of personal protective equipment (PPE) for COVID-19 healthcare workers. Eight males (age: 24.7 ± 3.0 y, height: 173.4 ± 2.3 cm, and body weight 69.9 ± 3.7 kg) participated in the following three PPE conditions: (1) Plastic gown ensemble, (2) Level D ensemble, and (3) Powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) ensemble. The mobility protocol consisted of 10 different tasks in addition to donning and doffing. The 10 tasks were repeated twice at an air temperature of 25oC with 74% RH. The results showed significant differences among the three PPE conditions in mean skin temperature, local skin temperatures (the forehead, thigh, calf, and foot), clothing microclimate (the chest and back), thermal sensation, thermal comfort, and humidity sensation, while there were no significant differences in heart rate or total sweat rate. At rest, the subjects felt less warm and more comfortable in the PAPR than in the Level D condition (P<0.05). However, subjective perceptions in the PAPR and Level D conditions became similar as the tasks progressed and mean skin and leg temperature became greater for the PAPR than the Level D condition (P<0.05). An interview was conducted just after completing the mobility test protocol, and suggestions for improving each PPE item were obtained. To sum up, the mobility test protocol was valid for evaluating the comfort functions of PPE for healthcare workers and obtaining requirements for improving the mobility of each PPE item.
