Moisture 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.
