Product Details
Often referred to as the "Skin Model", the Sweating Guarded Hotplate measures thermal properties and water vapor resistance of fabrics and other materials under steady state conditions.
Accurate
- The humidity guard and hotplate are both made of sintered porous bronze - the most accurate simulation of human skin
- Hotplate height is adjusted by a motor drive ensuring that the plate remains level at all times
- The grooved guard plate allows for simple and precise sample loading
Conditioned Chamber
The sophisticated purpose-designed climate chamber ensures the most rigid control and monitoring of:
-
Air Temperature
-
Air Speed
-
Relative Humidity
-
Heater Power Consumption
Three Section Hotplate
-
Test Plate
-
Guard Section
-
Bottom Plate
Each section electronically and independently maintains a constant temperature in the range of human skin (33 to 36°C)
Air speed sensor located directly above the sample
Other climate control sensors include:
-
Relative Humidity
-
Ambient Air Temperature
Versatile
Test samples with an area of 250 mm x 250 mm and a thickness of 70 mm can be tested
The instrument simulates both wet and dry skin conditions giving a complete sample profile
Precision
Test parameters are displayed on the instrument's full color display at set increments, controllable by the operator.
