Methods for handwear, footwear and headgear evaluation

1. General principles (Qm=Pm/Am; Itr=(Tm-Ta)/Qm; possible to make measurements at constant surface temperature or heatloss, in all examples surface temperature was kept constant). 2. Handwear 2.1 Ten (10) zones; standard (EN 511) 2.2 Setup 2.3 Example from results 3. Headgear 3.1 Six (6) zones 3.2 Setup & conditions (Ta, wetting, wind & humidity) 3.3 Example from results 4. Footwear 4.1 Eight (8) zones & 3 sweat glands, size 41. 4.2 Setup & conditions (standing on a copper-zinc alloy plate in a climatic chamber). 4.3 Example from results (total values for zones up to ankle).
