Textile moisture absorption and heat generation performance tester
BACKStandards:
Applications:
This instrument is suitable for measuring the moisture-absorption-induced heat generation of various textile materials. It is commonly used for:
Functional thermal underwear
Sports and outdoor performance fabrics
Fiber and yarn development evaluation
Fabrics with hygroscopic–exothermic treatments
Winter apparel and insulation materials
Bedding, mattress toppers, quilt fillings
Medical textiles requiring thermal response
Research and teaching in textile engineering
R&D of smart temperature-adaptive fabrics
It provides essential data for manufacturers, research institutes, inspection bodies, and textile laboratories requiring accurate moisture-induced thermal performance testing.
Product Information:
The Textile Moisture Absorption and Heat Generation Performance Tester is a professional laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the thermal response of textiles when absorbing moisture. By simulating real-use humidity and airflow conditions, the tester measures temperature rise, heat-release characteristics, and thermal comfort performance of fabrics, fibers, yarns, and finished garments. It is widely used in the development and quality control of moisture-absorbing and heat-generating functional textiles, including thermal underwear, sportswear, outdoor apparel, bedding materials, and smart temperature-regulating fabrics.
