Introduction
For the assessment of the physiological properties of textiles worn next to the skin, not only their
thermophysiological properties in stationary conditions (thermal and water vapour resistance) are
important, which can be measured according to EN ISO 11092 with the sweating guarded-hotplate (Skin
Model), but also their capacity to buffer in stationary sweat pulses and to transport liquid sweat,
occurring in the practical use of textiles and clothing.
With liquid sweat appearing on the wearer's skin, the textiles take it up and transport it into the next
textile layers or into the environmental air. This so-called buffering capacity and transport of liquid water
(sweat) of a textile is measured quantitatively with the sweating guarded-hotplate, slightly modified from
the design and procedures described in the above standard. A textile is judged to perform better, the more
efficient the transport of sweat from the skin is, and the less liquid sweat remains on the skin.

5 Test accessories
5.1 Thin foil
A thin foil sized 25 cm × 25 cm which is water and water vapour impermeable. A suggested material for
the foil is PET (polyethylene terephthalate) with a thickness of 0,1 mm. The thin foil shall present a good
thermal stability and a good planarity to enable close contact with the plate of the skin-model.
NOTE The foil prevents the water from being wicked into the measuring unit for the duration of the test.
5.2 Polyester woven fabric

A polyester woven fabric with a mass of (100 ± 3) g/m and a size of 20 cm × 20 cm .
NOTE This fabric simulates distribution of sweat on skin.
Water absorbency of this fabric can be checked using the method described in Annex A of
ISO 17617:2014 (drop test).
When soiling is visible, this polyester woven fabric shall be cleaned. The cleaning procedure is as follows:
the polyester woven fabric is rinsed in distilled water at room temperature until the soiling has been
removed. Then the fabric is air-dried at room temperature.
5.3 Frame (for method B)
A frame made of material with a low thermal conductance, for example synthetic resin.
Dimensions of the frame are:
— outer size: 300 mm × 300 mm;
— inner size: 230 mm × 230 mm;
— thickness: (2 ± 0,1) mm.
5.4 Specimen carrier
A specimen carrier, see Figure 1.

6.1 General
Two methods are described. Method A implies a technical modification by adding a gas meter to the

It has been shown that both methods provide similar results.
