What is Arc Rating? Why does it matter for FR Clothing?

Before you get on location you’ve all heard that your FR Clothing has to have a certain calorie rating or have a certain HRC level or CAT level but what the heck does that even mean? Today we will break down what the Arc Rating of your FR Clothing really means.
So what is an Arc Rating and why does it matter? We first define terms like arc rating, ATPV, EBT, and calories, then we discuss how each FR Garment is given an ARC rating.
And what does that mean for you? Well, watch the entire video, and we'll help guide you in the process of keeping safe on location.

Cool explanation. Hey when are you doing another rubber boot video with your pants over top of the boots? I reckon even if the subject of your video is another item of clothing you could always be wearing the rubber boots you stock with your pants over top of them. That way you could show multiple different pairs in your videos, even if they're not the subject of the video.

Thanks Mountain Ranch. You sure love your rubber boots lol. I'll see what I can do

Can you wash it. I was told at work that you can’t wash this stuff because it ruins the coating or something????

[@frclothingsupply3561]

You can wash it! Check out our video on how to wash FR garments here... ua-cam.com/video/mA5zT61lP9c/v-deo.html. Let us know if you have any questions!

After watching the testing videos of arc flash gear on dummys ( even one dummy was ducktaped to a ladder) I have a question? How on God's green earth are you going to be ok after having that happen to you? At the very least a new pair of underwear might be needed, at the worse... And what is the correct verb to use if this happened to me: exploded? Fireballed? Zapped? Electric fly- swatted.
