Thermal Manikin Whole-Body Testing
topic
Thermal manikins with segmented heated zones and sweating capability measure total and local thermal insulation and evaporative resistance of complete garment ensembles under controlled climate chamber conditions, integrating effects of fit, air gaps, garment openings, and layering on thermal performance.
Role
Provides system-level thermal data that single-specimen instrument testing cannot replicate, essential for cold-weather military ensemble development, outdoor sportswear optimisation, and occupational protective clothing certification.
