BS 3F 122:1989 is a British Standard specification that provides requirements for a specific type of fabric used in the construction of liferaft packs. The fabric described in this standard consists of a two-ply cotton fabric interlayered with polychloroprene.
Here are some key aspects covered by this specification:
Material Composition: Detailed requirements for the composition of the two-ply cotton fabric and the polychloroprene interlayer. This may include specifications for the types of cotton used, as well as the thickness and composition of the polychloroprene layer.
Construction: Standards for the construction of the fabric, including methods for layering the cotton fabric with the polychloroprene interlayer to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
Physical Properties: Specifications for various physical properties such as tensile strength, tear resistance, flexibility, and dimensional stability of the fabric.
Chemical Resistance: Requirements for the fabric's resistance to water, saltwater, oils, fuels, and other substances typically encountered in maritime environments.
Durability and Longevity: Criteria for the fabric's durability under the conditions experienced during storage and deployment of liferafts, including resistance to abrasion, weathering, and aging.
