The complex is equipped with a hardware system and has 24 separate zones of constant monitoring of tem- peratures. The main purpose of the complex is to test the protective properties of clothing and gear (personal protective equipment) un- der extreme conditions. The robot is located in a thermal chamber capable of reproducing any climatic zone of the Russian Federation by setting the temperature from –20 to +80 degrees Celsius. As part of a dynamic support system, the thermal manikin simulates hu- man movements (walking and running of varying intensity), has its own constant “skin” surface temperature (from 33 to 37 degrees) and even sweats. There are only seven similar complexes in Europe. CHAIN SAW SERCONS LLC has the only installation for the testing of du- rability of work clothes, shoes and gloves when working with a chain saw in Russia. At a certain distance from a provided sample, one installs a saw bar with a specified speed of rotation of the chain – from 25 to 33 thousand revolutions. After switch- ing off the power supply of the saw drive, the bar with the chain is lowered onto the sample in free fall. The purpose of the test is to determine how far the saw goes through the material before it stopping and the result to the sample. It can either be wound around the saw, sawn through, or have other damages, which determines the protective properties of the fabric. During the test, the free fall of the chain saw is done intentionally – after all, an operator might put the saw down without waiting for it to be completely off, possibly causing a serious injury. This type of PPE test is conducted to minimize the consequences of negligence at the workplace. DVT SKY SHOE THERMAL INSULATION TESTER This device is designed to determine the heat-insulating properties of shoes when exposed to various negative temperatures. A sample of shoes with a sensor installed on the insole is placed in a thermal container for a certain period of time, and then the temperature of the insole is measured. In this case, the temperature on the surface of the insole is adjusted to a constant value of +23 ± 2 °C for three hours. The temperature in the thermal container for the period of the test is set within the range of –17 ±2 °C. The measuring device is connected to temperature sensors, while the temperature change over time is measured. In addition to this installation, there is a device that allows reducing the temperature to –80 degrees with liquid nitrogen.
