AATCC Develops Test Methods to Understand Performance of Moisture in Fabrics

    SEATTLE, WA, August 12, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Measuring the drying rate of textiles helps determine the performance of moisture management fabrics.

Thermetrics new test devices:

DRT200
- Drives vertical flow of air through a wetted textile
- Determines the textile's drying rate under controlled air flow conditions

DRT201
- Drives horizontal flow of air through a wetted fabric on a heated plate
- Plate is heated to human skin temperature
- Determines the fabric's drying rate under controlled air flow conditions

Complies with:
AATCC Test Method 200 - Drying Rate of Textiles: Air Flow Method
AATCC Test Method 201 - Drying Rate of Fabrics: Heated Plate Method
