Introduction
Product Introduction & Applications
The Thermal Insulation Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the heat retention and thermal insulation performance of textile materials. By simulating human body temperature through a constant-temperature heating plate, the system measures heat loss with and without the sample, enabling accurate calculation of insulation rate.
With high-sensitivity temperature signal processing, fast power detection (0.00005 seconds), and advanced data recording software, this tester ensures excellent reproducibility and stable results. It is widely used in textile research, product development, and industrial quality control.
Suitable for Testing:
Knitted fabrics
Woven fabrics
Non-woven fabrics
Thermal and outdoor clothing materials
Quilts, blankets, and bedding materials
Functional insulation textiles
This device is ideal for textile manufacturers, QC laboratories, universities, and R&D centers focusing on thermal comfort and insulation performance.
Standards Compliance
The Thermal Insulation Tester is fully compliant with international textile heat retention testing standards, including:
JIS L1018 34.1A – Heat retention test for knitted fabrics
JIS L1096 8.28.1A – Heat retention test for general textile fabrics
ASTM D1518 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Transmittance of Textile Materials
These standards ensure that test results are accurate, consistent, and globally recognized.
