ASTM F2370
Standard Test Method for Measuring the Evaporative Resistance of Clothing Using a Sweating Manikin
This test method covers the determination of the evaporative resistance of clothing ensembles. It describes the measurement of the resistance to evaporative heat transfer from a heated sweating thermal manikin to a relatively calm environment. This is a static test that provides a baseline clothing measurement on a standing manikin. Evaporative resistance values from local, regional, and whole-body can be computed.
