INTEGRATED SWEATING GUARDED HOT PLATE SYSTEM | 3123B
The Sweating Guarded Hot Plate, also called “Skin Model”, is used to measure and control the thermal-physio-biological properties of fabrics and layers through a complex measurement of thermal resistance to a heat flux (RCT), and water vapour resistance to a water vapour flux (RET), in an environment having thermal and humidity steady conditions, as per UNI EN ISO 11092, ASTM F1868 and ASTM D1518 (Option II).
The iSGHP-8.2 system, endowed with 8” square test plate, includes:
- Hot Plate with integral sweating surface,
- Computer controlled variable airflow rates,
- Gravity-fed fluid supply system,
- Ambient temperature and humidity probes.
- Also available iSGHP-10.5 model, with 10” square test plate.
Features
The system’s integrated climatic chamber features an insulated stainless steel interior and a compact, space-efficient design.
Its ergonomic layout yields a comfortable working height of approximately 42” (107cm) above the floor, and other thoughtful touches include a high intensity LED cabinet light, a removable top shelf for the preconditioning of fabric samples, and a large insulated door with viewing window.
For sweating tests the SGHP Hot Plate utilizes the chamber’s water source, and a unique porous wicking assembly on both Hot Plate and guard ring ensures a uniform wetted surface.
Adjustable (motorized) plate height easily accommodates a variety of sample thicknesses, and our ThermDAC control and data logging software makes testing very simple.
