Thermal Manikins
Thermal property testing of garments—male, female, child, infant forms.
Thermetrics full-body thermal manikins measure how clothing, sleeping bags, personal protective equipment (PPE), and environmental conditions affect heat transfer between the human body and its surroundings. Our thermal manikin systems support a wide range of applications, including thermal insulation, evaporative resistance, and thermal comfort research, with sweating capabilities and testing configurations varying by model.
Choosing the right thermal manikin depends on your testing objectives, intended applications, and required body form. Newton offers versatile, repeatable testing of clothing and PPE, including thermal insulation and evaporative resistance measurements. The ANDI thermal manikin combines advanced sweating capabilities with internal cooling and walking motion to support research into human heat exchange and thermal responses in challenging environments. Liz features female morphology based on 3D body scans, supporting testing of women's apparel and protective equipment. Child and infant manikins extend testing capabilities to children's clothing, bedding, and related products.
