Sweating manikins

The PT sweating manikin are based on the same well proven heating and sensing technology.

The PT sweating manikin are based on the same well proven heating and sensing technology. As the thermal manikins, with the addition of an advanced and precise sweat regulating system. This makes the manikin a highly reliable tool for analysing the evaporative resistance in clothing and thermal comfort in warm and humid environments.

With 250 sweat glands, the PT sweating manikin is capable of simulating both high sweat rates (mainly applicable to clothing analysis) and more realistic, low sweat rates.

In the PT sweating manikin technology each sweat gland is regulated by an individual valve. This creates a very precise and targeted dosing, without any impact of gravity. Furthermore, it makes it possible to optimize the size of the sweat glands to avoid clocking and minimize maintenance.

The manikins can be placed standing, walking/moving, sitting or lying down depending on the application. The body can be separated in the waist, without tools, for easy transport and setup. The thermal manikins are operated through an intuitive windows-based PC software with graphical monitoring and flexible data-logging features.

The sweating manikin system comes with an enhanced SW interface for coupling the manikin with the JOS-3 thermophysiology model. Designed in both male or female shape with 12 – 36 customized thermal zones – with or without face and hand details.

A special tailored wicking skin is included with all PT Teknik sweating manikin systems.
