Objective and quantitative evaluation of clothing thermal protective properties should be based on the simulation of human in actual thermal environment as realistic as possible. In this paper, by using a new type of flame manikin which can rotate and make different postures, the dynamic scene that a firefighter wearing fire protective ensembles doing rescue job in the flash fire was simulated. According to the skin burn prediction result, the total burn percent suffered by the manikin was 7.76%, of which the 2nd degree burn and the 3rd degree burn account for 5.12% and 2.64% respectively. This indicates that the firefighter ensembles have relative good thermal protective property. It can provide enough protection for the firefighter in 8s dynamic exposure while more protection should be added to the head.
Keywords:thermal protective property; fire fighter ensembles; flame manikin
