textile Functional tester

Introducing the Textile Photothermal Performance Tester – your essential instrument for accurately evaluating how fabrics interact with light and heat. This specialized device quantifies a textile’s ability to absorb, reflect, and transmit solar radiation, directly impacting its comfort, insulation, and overall energy efficiency. Ideal for sportswear, outdoor gear, automotive interiors, and smart textiles, it provides crucial data on thermal regulation properties. With precise control over light sources and temperature monitoring, this tester helps manufacturers optimize material performance for diverse applications, ensuring comfort and energy savings.

Application Scope

The textile photothermal performance tester is mainly used to test textile products’ photothermal storage performance, heat-blocking performance, and thermal resistance performance.

Applicable Standards
