Test Procedures

1.Preparation: Ensure the instrument is on a stable desktop surface. Connect to power supply and allow it to reach ambient operating temperature.

2.Sample Placement: Place fabric or bamboo mat samples on the designated heated plate or probe area. Confirm proper alignment for uniform contact.

3.Parameter Configuration: Input desired test temperature (20–40°C) and measurement duration on the touchscreen interface.

4.Test Initiation: Start the automatic test. The system will heat the plate and record thermal response of the material, calculating the QMAX coefficient.

5.Data Recording: Test results are displayed on the screen in real-time and can be saved or exported for further analysis.

6.Completion: Remove the sample once the measurement is complete. Power off or proceed to the next test sample.

FAQ

1.What is the main purpose of the Fabric Cooling Sensation Tester?

It objectively quantifies the “cool-to-the-touch” effect of textiles and sheet materials to evaluate thermal comfort performance.

2.Which types of samples can be tested?

The tester supports fabrics, bedding, bamboo mats, nightwear, undergarments, and functional high-performance fibers.

3.How precise is the temperature measurement?

The system provides a 0.01°C resolution with a sensor response time of 0.1 seconds, ensuring accurate QMAX calculation.
