A wet-suit worn external to normal clothing and covering the trunk and arms only has been assessed as a method for providing short-term immersion protection for helicopter passengers in offshore oil field operations. Manikin measurements of effective insulation in water give a mean figure of 0.54 togs for the areas covered by the suit and 0.09 togs for uncovered areas. These figures were used to obtain model predictions of survival time for 'thin' and 'average' men which suggest that the suit can give adequate protection for 1 h at 5 degrees C subject to care in fitting. Direct measurements of heat flux have demonstrated the presence of water flushing beneath the suit and the potentially serious loss of insulation that can result.
一种穿在普通衣物外面、仅覆盖躯干和手臂的潜水服，已被评估为一种在海上油田作业中为直升机乘客提供短期浸入式保护的方法。人体模型在水中的有效隔热测量结果显示，该潜水服覆盖区域的平均隔热值为0.54托格，未覆盖区域为0.09托格。这些数据被用于获得“瘦型”和“普通体型”男性生存时间的模型预测结果，表明在穿着合适的情况下，该潜水服在5摄氏度时可提供1小时的充分保护。热通量的直接测量表明，潜水服下方存在水冲洗现象，这可能导致隔热性能严重下降。
