EN ISO 5085-2 Textile - Determination of Thermal Resistance - Part 2: Standard Test Method for High Thermal Resistance

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 5085-2 testing. It relates to fabrics, fabric assemblies and fleeces. This resistance value is obtained by measuring the energy required to maintain a constant temperature difference in a heating body covered with the fabric to be tested, compared to the ambient temperature. The details of the heating body are described and shown in the figures.

Measurement of thermal resistance of textiles, values ​​of clothing and upholstery fabrics in thermal environments, heat losses from rooms, etc. to be included in the calculations. The thermal resistances of the fabric layers are summed, so values ​​are calculated for all garment groups.

It has been suggested that a simple thickness measurement provides an adequate measure of thermal insulation, for example of blankets. However, this is only acceptable if a common tan value is assumed for the thermal insulation per unit thickness. However, the conduction of heat through a textile skin occurs not only by conduction through fibers and entrapped air, but also by radiation through air spaces within the fabric.

The thermal resistance is obtained by measuring the energy required to maintain a constant temperature difference in a heating body covered with the fabric to be tested, compared to the ambient temperature.

The test may be performed on samples from a piece of fabric or a finished product, or on the uncut finished fabric itself; In the case of a finished product, testing can be performed on a piece, including zippers, pockets or seams.
