Application
The Porton-man Thermal Manikin is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
(1) Military Protective Clothing Testing: Evaluates the thermal, barrier, and comfort performance of CB protective suits, gloves, and boots.
(2) Chemical and Biological Defense Research: Tests the efficacy of garments and equipment against chemical and biological hazards.
(3) Product Development & Quality Control: Assesses new designs of protective clothing and materials under realistic motion and environmental conditions.
(4) Human Factors & Ergonomics: Studies the impact of movement, posture, and exertion on wearer comfort and mobility.
(5) Third-Party Laboratory Testing: Supports certification, regulatory compliance, and performance verification of protective equipment.
Standard
The instrument is designed and tested in compliance with the following international and national standards:

Test Procedures
(1) Mount the Porton-man on the drive frame in the testing area.
(2) Configure motion parameters (walking, running, sitting, kneeling, stair climbing, arm movements).
(3) Connect the data acquisition system to monitor sensors.
(4) Start the test sequence via the control software.
(5) Perform the desired motion tasks while the manikin collects thermal, pressure, and barrier data.
(6) Analyze recorded data in real-time or post-test for performance evaluation.
(7) Repeat as necessary for different clothing sets or test conditions.
Maintenance Information
(1) Regularly inspect mechanical joints, actuators, and sensors for wear.
(2) Calibrate sensors and data acquisition modules according to manufacturer recommendations.
(3) Clean surfaces and mechanical components using non-corrosive agents.
(4) Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture that could damage electronics.
(5) Maintain logs of test sequences, calibration, and maintenance activities.
(6) Ensure software updates are applied to control and analysis systems for optimal performance.
