Measurement of thermal and water-vapour resistance under steady-state conditions (sweating guarded-hotplate test)
This international test method is widely used to assess thermal and water vapor resistance of fabrics, foams, and other single-layer or multi-layer textile products. Flat material specimens are placed on a sweating guarded hotplate, often referred to as a skin model. Thermal resistance is measured under fixed environment conditions and a dry hotplate surface. Water vapor resistance is measured under different fixed environment conditions and a water-saturated hotplate surface.
