ND081Standard Pneumatic Ram Test Method and Equipment Used in Evaluating the Performance Characteristic of Protective Headgear and Faceguards

This standard test method describes laboratory equipment and basic requirements pertinent to pneumatic ram testing of protective headgear with face guards. The concept of the pneumatic ram is to deliver an impact to a helmeted, instrumented, headform on a Hybrid III neck that is free to move post impact. This test method has been designed to subject the headgear to both centric and non-centric impacts while capturing both linear and rotational acceleration. It is believed that compliance with this test method will lead to improved headgear performance. Deviations to this test method will be specified in individual standard performance specifications.

More Information

Modifications to a Standard

Modifications to standards documents are editorial changes and do not need committee approval. Their purpose is usually for clarification.

Revisions to a Standard

Revisions to standards documents require action by the Standards Committee. Revisions are changes to standards that alter a critical test or performance parameter.

Effective Dates

The primary purpose for setting an effective date is to specify when a licensee’s products must be in compliance with a revised version of a standard.

NOCSAE Document Naming

Each NOCSAE document (ND) has a unique document number (NDXXX). For example document number ND001-17m23 was last revised in 2017…
