Since World War II the Quartermaster Laboratories in the United States, as part of a broad test development programme, have continued investigations of the correlation between field and laboratory testing. As a result of these studies, several working correlations have been developed which have proved useful in predicting the probable performance of textile materials in use. Underlying the success achieved in this programme is the increased precision that has been introduced in conducting field tests. This report reviews some of the factors that have contributed to this increased precision such as types of experimental design, selection of test subjects, use of environmental experts, etc. Also several examples are given of correlations that have been developed in the past, and some that are being worked on at present, to illustrate the present state of knowledge of the Quartermaster Laboratories in this field. Accordingly it is felt that other workers looking into this same area of study will find ways of initiating such investigations in the future by the use of careful sampling without necessarily having to engage in extremely broad tests. The work that has already been initiated in the United Kingdom at the Clothing and Stores establishment at Chatham is regarded as very encouraging. It is felt that it has made significant progress in laying the groundwork for investigations of this type. It is to be hoped that this work may be encouraged and the results of the studies may have widespread attention from investigators interested in this type of approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
