Get accurate, repeatable measurements of thermal resistance (Rct) and vapor permeability (Ret) for textiles.
Accurate, repeatable textile measurements
The Integrated Sweating Guarded Hotplate (iSGHP), or “Skin Model,” is used to produce accurate, repeatable measurements of thermal resistance (Rct) and vapor permeability (Ret) for textiles.
Our iSGHP includes:
An electronics-grade copper test plate and guard ring
A smaller footprint (designed to fit through a standard 36 in. doorway)
The hotplate is available in both standard sizes: SGHP-8.2 or SGHP-10.5 hotplate
Test methods supported
ISO 11092
ISO 13029
ASTM F1868
ASTM D1518 (Option II). Mesh fabric hood is available for Option I method.
