Abstract:

According to the acquirement of the fuel protective coveralls, new siamese and a split coveralls were designed and made of antistatic and oil-proofing fabrics. The siamese coverall had flexible peats in back waist to provide flexibility while the spilt one was designed with a high waist and straps. Ergonomic trials and wearing test were used to evaluate the properties of the coveralls. And a current siamese style was introduced into these controlled trials. Range-of-Motion test’s results showed that the new coveralls with short rise had no significant difference in flexibility between the current one which was looser in crotch. Also in comfort, the new coveralls performed better. This investigation provides better fuel protective coveralls which can satisfy the needs of protection, function, fittness and comfort.

Key words: fule protective coveralls, comfort property, ergonomic, subjective evaluation
