AATCC Develops Test Methods to Understand Performance of Moisture in Fabrics

Thermetrics DRT200 and DRT201 textile test devices assess quick dry and fast wicking functions to help develop overall effectiveness of sweat removal by evaporation



Will these fabrics keep me dry regardless of weather or temperature?

    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
