DuPont: Improved Fire Safety with the Help of m+p Coda

m+p International UK Ltd News and PR from m+p International UK Ltd - Published 13 August 2019 We are proud to support our customer, DuPont, in the testing of Nomex®, a flame-resistant fiber used in protective clothing for firefighters, police officers, industrial workers and many others.
m+p international supplies acquisition hardware and server systems with customized software based on m+p Coda for all of DuPont’s Thermo-Man® testing facilities, which are located in the United States (2), Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Brazil and Singapore.

Thermo-Man® is a life-size mannequin, equipped with 122 heat sensors and used to simulate exposure to a sudden fire. To analyze the protective performance of Nomex®, Thermo-Man® is dressed in test garments and then engulfed into flames.

Dr. Roger Parry, principal investigator with DuPont, comments: “Your folks have done a great job converting our software requirements specification into an efficient GUI that addresses our specific needs. We look forward to continue working with m+p as we further refine the Thermo-Man® software package.”
