The Benefits of Using a Sweating Thermal Manikin for Clothing Design and Develop

The Sweating Thermal Manikin is a test device for testing the flame resistance and thermal protection of fire resistant garments by simulating the thermal radiation and flame contact conditions of the human body in a fire environment. This article will introduce the Sweating Thermal Manikin's working principle, applications, advantages and other relevant content.

 

I. Principle of operation

 

The Sweating Thermal Manikin consists of a full-size manikin, an airtight compartment and a heater. During the test, the tester puts the tested fire resistant garment on the manikin and then places the manikin in the gas-tight compartment where the heater provides heat radiation and flame contact to simulate a real fire environment. The temperature and humidity in the gas-tight compartment rises and the tester can monitor the temperature and heat flux on the surface of the mannequin via sensors and record the test results.

 

II. Applications

 

The Sweating Thermal Manikin is a very important piece of test equipment and is widely used in the aviation, railway and maritime industries. It tests the flame resistance and thermal protection of fire resistant garments to ensure their safety and reliability. It also helps users to select and purchase fire resistant clothing that meets the standards to ensure the safety of life and property.

III. Advantages

 

Sweating Thermal Manikin offers several advantages.

 

1. Full-size manikin: it can simulate the real human body in a fire environment, making the test results more accurate and reliable.

 

2. Simulation of a real fire environment: the temperature and humidity in the airtight compartment rises continuously, simulating the conditions in a real fire environment.

 

3. Reliable test results: The temperature and heat flux on the surface of the mannequin is monitored by sensors and the test results are recorded, making the test results more accurate and reliable.

 

4. Guarantee the safety of personnel: it can test the flame retardant performance and thermal protection performance of fireproof clothing, and guarantee the safety of personnel in a fire environment.

 

IV. Summary

 

The Sweating Thermal Manikin is a very important piece of test equipment for ensuring the quality and performance of fire resistant clothing. It can simulate the real human body in a fire environment and test the flame retardant and thermal protection properties of fire resistant clothing to safeguard the lives and property of personnel. In the future, as technology continues to advance, the Sweating Thermal Manikin will become even more intelligent and efficient to provide better services to people.
