Development of the Measuring System for Analysing the Thermal Properties of Clothing

The measuring system for assessing static and dynamic thermal properties of textile composites and clothing is described in this paper. The measuring system consists of a guarded hot plate for measuring thermal insulation values of textile composites, and segmented metal mould, so called thermal manikin, anatomically designed to simulate human body for the determination of static and dynamic measurements in accordance with human walking simulation. Both measuring systems are located simultaneously in the joint climate- controlled chamber. The associated measuring software, whose development and general features are described in this paper, enables related measuring system control, measuring process and acquiring normative measuring specifications.
