Contact Coolness Tester
The Contact Coolness Tester provides a reliable method for evaluating the instant cooling sensation of textiles and functional materials. By measuring qmax values according to recognized testing methods, it helps manufacturers and laboratories develop and verify cooling fabrics, apparel, and comfort products with consistent performance.
Application
The Contact Coolness Tester is suitable for evaluating the thermal sensation and comfort performance of various materials, including:
(1) Cooling textiles — measuring the instant cool feeling of functional fabrics and sportswear materials.
(2) Apparel products — evaluating cooling performance of clothing fabrics and outdoor garments.
(3) Home textiles — testing bedding fabrics, mattress materials, and other comfort-related textiles.
(4) Functional materials research — comparing cooling performance of moisture-management and heat-transfer fabrics.
(5) Product quality control — verifying consistency of cooling textile performance during manufacturing.
(6) Laboratory research — supporting textile research institutes and third-party testing organizations.
Standards
(1) JIS L 1927 — Textiles — Measurement method of cool touch feeling property.
(2) GB/T 35263-2017 — Textiles — Testing and evaluation for cool sensation at contact instant.
(3) CNS 15687 / L3272 — Method of test for the instantaneous cool sensation of fabrics.
