Thermal protective clothing and some fire-retardant properties of the material refers that human body carry out security protection who work under high temperature conditions,so as to avoid the human body's high temperature injury. In theory, there are three forms of heat damage to the human body:
thermal convection; B. heat transfer; C. thermal radiation;
In general, the practical application is more than the above two or three kinds of mixing effect. So the thermal protection should be used for different purposes and use of the environment to highlight its certain thermal protection performance.
I. Thermal Radiation Protection Performance Test Method (RPP Test) Radiant Protective Performance;
II. Thermal Radiation and Heat Convection Mixing Protective Performance Test Method (TPP Test) Thermal Protective Performance;
The RPP test is mainly used to determine the radiant thermal protection performance of thermal protective clothing. Since thermal radiation is one of the main heat transfer forms that cause thermal damage. The method can better test and evaluate the thermal protection performance of thermal protective clothing from one aspect, and has been widely used in the field of forest fire.
Application
Outdoor Sports Gear: Evaluating the waterproof breathability and thermal balance of fabrics for jackets, ski suits, and mountaineering apparel.
Specialized Protective Clothing: Testing thermal protection and moisture-wicking performance of firefighting suits, military combat uniforms, and medical protective garments.
High-Performance Fabrics: Evaluating multilayer composite materials for extreme environments like spacesuits and deep-sea diving suits.
Bedding & Interiors: Monitoring thermal resistance properties of sleeping bags, carpets, and automotive seat materials to enhance comfort at home and on the go.
Membrane Material Research: Assisting R&D personnel in testing technical specifications of moisture-permeable components like microporous membranes and non-porous hydrophilic films.

Test Procedures
System Preheating: Power on the instrument, set the test plate temperature (e.g., 35°C) and ambient chamber temperature/humidity, allowing the system to reach stable equilibrium.
Thermal Resistance Test (Dry Test): Cover the test plate with a dry sample and measure the constant heat flux required to maintain the temperature difference under water-free conditions.
Wet Resistance Test (Wet Test): Cover the test plate with a semi-permeable membrane simulating skin and inject distilled water.
Sample Installation: Place the test sample flat over the semi-permeable membrane and activate the parallel airflow system.
Data Acquisition: After the system re-establishes dynamic equilibrium, record the heat consumed by water vapor evaporation via software.
Calculation Results: Software automatically subtracts no-load resistance, outputting the material's final thermal resistance ($R_{ct}$) and wet resistance ($R_{et}$) values.
Maintenance Information
Water Circuit Cleaning: Wet resistance testing must use medical-grade distilled water or deionized water. Tap water is strictly prohibited to prevent scaling and clogging of the porous plate.
Sensor Protection: Keep the gap between the protective ring and the test plate edge clean to prevent fiber debris from affecting airflow distribution.
Calibration Recommendation: Periodically verify the system's heat flux response using a standard calibration plate.
Long-Term Storage: If the moisture resistance function remains unused for extended periods, drain the water supply lines and keep the test plate surface dry.
