CHECK SHEET NO. V6 (Continued)
THORAX WITHOUT ARM IMPACT TEST (S572.196)
__22 The impactor and spine accelerations are collected and filtered using a Channel lass 180
phaseless filter.
__23 The rib deflections are collected and filtered using a Channel Class 600 phaseless filter.
__24 Time zero is defined as the time of contact between the impactor and the thorax. All
channels should be at a zero level at this point.
__25 Record the peak impactor acceleration, peak rib deflections and peak spine accelerations
in Table V6. Verify that each measurement meets specification by indicating “Pass” or
“Fail” in the far right column.
__26 If test results do not meet specifications, wait at least 30 minutes, conduct another test.
__27 Record and report the results of each additional test in a separate table.
