dc.descriptionMoisture management textiles have proved to be one of the fastest growing sector in textiles. New research and development of these textiles have pushed the boundaries of textile testing equipment as new test methods are required. This paper will focus on the development of test method with potential application in testing and analyzing of textile fabrics which can be used in moisture management industry. A new system has been developed which allows fabrics moisture transmission to be tested whilst situated between two variable conditions mini chambers. The system allows moisture level to be monitored by precision weight scale and all the real-time data can be controlled and analyzed by computer. The system was tested by using a knitted spacer fabric and proved to be useful and reliable kit for analysis of moisture transmission at various testing conditions.
