High Temperature Half Mannequin
Category：Manikin System
Introduction
This head and torso are designed for use in the testing of clothing and headgear in a high temperature challenging environment.The head and torso are of a medium size and the head-form contains an ISO 16900-5 trachea. The head surface is made of high heat resistant silicone rubber (up to 294°C) and is fixed over a machined aluminium core which provides the thermal mass.
Application
The High-Temperature Half Mannequin is suitable for testing a variety of protective equipment and scenarios, including:
Full-system evaluation of high-temperature protective clothing
Firefighter suits and helmets for heat resistance testing
Industrial high-temperature workwear (metallurgy, foundry, glass production)
High-temperature protective headgear, helmets, and respiratory devices
Compatibility testing of protective clothing and headgear systems
Performance verification under thermal shock or continuous heat exposure
Laboratory research for comparative high-temperature protective performance
Standards
The mannequin can be used as a test carrier in accordance with or in support of the following standards:
GB 24539 — Protective Clothing: General Technical Requirements for Chemical Protective Clothing (high-temperature relevant tests)

Testing Principle
The mannequin simulates the thermal mass and structural properties of the human upper body in high-temperature environments. Protective clothing or headgear is mounted on the mannequin, and heat sources or high-temperature chambers simulate extreme conditions. This setup allows evaluation of thermal tolerance, structural integrity, and system-level compatibility of protective equipment.
FAQ
1. What is the High-Temperature Half Mannequin used for?
It evaluates protective clothing and headgear under high-temperature conditions, simulating human thermal inertia and structural response.
2. Which protective equipment can be tested?
Supports high-temperature suits, firefighter uniforms, industrial workwear, helmets, head covers, and respiratory protective systems.
3. How does it simulate human thermal characteristics?
The aluminum core mimics human thermal mass; silicone head and GRP torso replicate heat response and structural integrity.
4. Can it test protective equipment at the system level?
Yes, with integrated ISO 16900-5 airway, it supports helmets, respiratory devices, and clothing for system-level testing.
5. What safety precautions are required?
Ensure the mannequin is clean and undamaged, do not exceed maximum temperature, allow cooling post-test, and strictly follow standard exposure times.
