NC State Creates New Textile Test with Help from Thermetrics’ Hotplate TechnologyWe’ve all been there. You’re in the air-conditioned car on the way home from the gym or a long practice, and your once hot and sweaty clothes are now cold, clingy, and uncomfortable. Researchers at NC State’s Wilson College of Textiles’ Textile Protection and Comfort Center (TPACC) are making efforts to remedy that discomfort and have […]
Improving Infant Safety with the Baby Thermal ManikinBelmont Medical Technologies, a medical device company that provides leading patient temperature management solutions, and ThermoAnalytics, a thermal software company, know a mother will do anything to protect their baby, including reducing their infant’s body temperature to a hypothermic level to keep them safe when necessary. While this may sound counterintuitive and borderline frightening, we’re […]
Celebrating Earth Day by Using a Thermal Manikin to Combat Climate ChangeHow do you combat climate change and its impact on the human body in urban and desert environments? While we don’t quite have the answer yet, we are proud to say that our thermal manikin, ANDI, is helping researchers like Arizona State University’s (ASU) associate professor of mechanical engineering, Konrad Rykaczewski, find the answer. Konrad was […]
ANDI teams up with Arizona State in the fight against climate changeANDI, the world’s most advanced thermal manikin, is on a mission to make the world a better, safer place, and the team at Thermetrics is eager to get him into the hands of the leading scientists and engineers who can make that happen. Thermetrics president Rick Burke recently visited Arizona State University (ASU) to drop […]
Meet the Thermetrics Service Engineers!To start the year off right, we thought we should begin with an important introduction: Meet our Thermetrics Service Engineers! Without regular servicings, even the best equipment can drift and produce inaccurate results. To ensure optimal system operation, we recommend annual calibrations by a Thermetrics-trained Service Engineer. But who exactly are the service technicians who’ll […]
No-Contract Calibrations Now Available!Your Thermetrics testing system is a piece of precision testing equipment, but without regular calibrations, even the best equipment can drift and produce inaccurate results. You’ve got the Ferrari of manikins in your hands, so it needs more than the basic oil change you’d give a Honda Civic. (No disrespect to Civics!). We recommend annual […]
What IS a Testing Continuum?In our earliest days at Thermetrics, our customers helped us understand that a unidimensional approach to product testing only tells you part of the story. The need for a comprehensive and multi-tiered testing sequence is even more apparent when the products you’re developing are the vital tools of performance and safety for end users […]
FITI Parks Their New Flame Manikin UndergroundIn partnership with Thermetrics and our sales agent in Korea, Technox, FITI repurposed some space from their underground parking garage to build out a new laboratory for the flame manikin system.
Testing PPE with the Flash Fire Cylinder & Hand DevicesIn early December 2021, Thermetrics held a joint webinar and demo with valued partner Brian Shiels at ArcWear. The event, “Testing PPE with the Flash Fire Cylinder and Hand Devices” showcased both the Flash Fire Cylinder (FFC) and Flash Fire Hand (FFH) systems. Performance testing of fabrics and garment ensembles made for those working in […]
Liz Female Thermal Manikin Puts in the Reps at Nike’s Innovation CenterWe’re excited to share with the Thermetrics community that two of our thermal manikins were highlighted in a recent Fast Company article showcasing Nike’s LeBron James Innovation Center. Our new female thermal manikin Liz was pictured alongside our Newton manikin on treadmills inside one of the lab’s environmental chambers. Each manikin, garbed in Nike athletic […]
