Designation:E 2411 07Standard Specification forChemical Warfare Vapor Detector(CWVD)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2411;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe primary function required for the chemical warfare vapor detector(CWVD)is as a chemicalwarfare agent(CWA)point detector that can be used to detect,identify,quantify,and warn personnelof the presence of vapor or gas phase CWAs.The CWVD will provide visual and audible indicatorsand alarms,it will display the CWA class and point concentration,and it will record and store CWAconcentrations as a function of time.This information will be made available locally and fortransmission to a remote location.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the technical and missionrequirements for the use of a CWVD and relates each of theperformance and electrical shock and fire parameters to adetector requirement.Refer to Table 1 for reference materialcorrelation.1.2 This specification also defines the interfaces between theCWVD,communication systems,service platforms,and powersources.Refer to Table 1 for reference material correlation.1.3 The CWVD will be used to sample air and reportconcentrations of the following nerve and blister CWAs:GA,GB,GD,GF,VX,HD,L,and HN3.The CWVD is required todistinguish between agent types with the exception of G typeagents.The CWVD may work in conjunction with otherdetection devices to provide a broader range of detection andidentification.1.4 The definitions in this specification apply only to thisspecification and shall be the determining factors(s)wheninterpreting any word or combination(s)of words.Definitionsfor selected terms are in Section 3.The reader is stronglyencouraged to review these definitions before reading therequirements section.1.5 The values given in SI units are to be considered thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D 543 Practices for Evaluating the Resistance of Plastics toChemical ReagentsD 2240 Test Method for Rubber PropertyDurometerHardness2.2Federal Standards:310 CFR 30 Rules of General Applicability to DomesticLicensing of Byproduct Material10 CFR 31 General Domestic Licenses for ByproductMaterialAMCR 385-100 Army Materiel Command RegulationAR 190-59 Chemical Agent Security ProgramAR 200-2 Environmental Effects of Army ActionsAR 50-6Chemical SuretyATT 178 Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center,Ap-plied Test Team-Method for Evaluating DetectorsCFR 40 Protection of Environment49 CFR,Parts 171-179,International Civil AviationOrganizationTechnical Instructions for Safe Transpor-tation of Dangerous Goods by Air(ICAO-TDGA)FM 3-5 Army Study Guide-NBC DecontaminationMIL-HDBK-217F Reliability Prediction of ElectronicEquipmentMIL-HDBK-781A Department of Defense Handbook forReliability Test Methods,Plans,and Environments forEngineering,Development Qualification,and ProductionMIL-STD-461E Department of Defense Interface Standard:1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E54 onHomeland Security Applications and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeE54.01 on CBRNE Sensors&Detectors.Current edition approved Feb.1,2007.Published March 2007.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,SectionD,700RobbinsAve.,Philadelphia,PA19111-5098,http:/www.dodssp.daps.mil.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.Copyright ASTM International Provided by IHS under license with ASTM Licensee=Committee on Institutional Cooperation/5967164001 Not for Resale,02/29/2012 21:48:29 MSTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TABLE 1 Test Method MatrixRequirementTest Method4.1.2 In the personal detector application(see Table 2,which includes detector,alarm,and battery),shall weigh 5 lbs(2.25 kg)or less and be 40 in3(655 cm3)or less in volume.00-LC-S03144.1.3 In survey,fixed site,and mobile applications,shall weigh 20 lbs(9 kg)or less and be 0.5 ft3(0.014 m3)or less involume.00-LC-S03156.1.1 Provide the functional modes described in Table 3.00-LC-S03156.1.2 Allow no more than 15 min for setup and initialization,not including establishment of com
