Take three circular testpieces, each measuring approximately
7cm in diameter, from the sample fabric to be tested. Pre-warm the water
vapor permeable cup to approximately 40
and fill with the moisture absorption agent until it is approximately 3mm
from the top of the cup. Next place a testpiece with its front surface facing
the moisture absorption agent and direct it so as to form a concentric circle
with the water vapor permeable cup. Attach the packing and ring to the testpiece
and fix with the wing nut. Then seal the packing/ring side with vinyl adhesive
tape to prepare a test body. Put this test body in the thermohygrostat in
which air at 40 2 ,
90 5% RH circulates.
After 1 hour, remove the test body and immediately measure its mass a1 (mg).
Again put this test body in the thermohygrostat, remove it after 1 hour,
and measure the mass a2 (mg) immediately. |
