Thermal Resistance and Heating Performance of Heated Textiles
topic
Heated textile testing measures thermal output power per unit area at defined voltage inputs, mapping surface temperature distribution using infrared thermography and thermocouples under standardised still-air and wind tunnel conditions; thermal time constant, maximum surface temperature, and uniformity index quantify heating element performance and safety under IEC 60335 electrical heating appliance protocols.
Role
Validates the thermal performance and safety of electrically heated garments, heated seat covers, and therapeutic textile heating pads, ensuring that power density, surface temperature uniformity, and thermal runaway protection meet both comfort performance specifications and electrical product safety standards.
