 Full text | Abstract: By carrying out measurements of the thermoinsulation properties of clothing materials, we can obtain a lot of valuable information regarding the wide characteristics of these materials. Knowing thermoinsulation property values of clothing material, we can start the proper designing of thermoinsulation clothing by selecting and combining fabrics in such a way that we obtain clothing of very good thermal properties. In this paper the results of evaluation of the thermoinsulation parameters of membrane fabrics are presented. Measurements were carried out for 12 different clothing materials with half-permeable membranes for the inner as well as for the outer side of the material. An analysis of results is given. |
