MMT Moisture Management Tester
esting Standards:
AATCC 195, SN 1689.1, GB/T 21655.2
Applications:
The Moisture Management Tester (MMT) is an equipment to measure the dynamic liquid transport properties of textiles such as knitted and woven fabrics.
Product Information:
Fabric liquid moisture transport properties in multi-dimensions, called moisture management properties, influence the human perception of moisture sensations significantly. To improve the comfort of today's clothing, especially in sportswear, it is important to know the liquid moisture management properties of the fabric.
Test Principle:
The Moisture Management Tester (MMT) is an equipment to measure the dynamic liquid transport properties of textiles such as knitted and woven fabrics in three dimensions:
1. Absorption Rate - Moisture absorbing time of the fabric's inner and outer surfaces.
2. One-way Transportation Capability – Liquid moisture one-way transfer from fabric's inner surface to outer surface.
3. Spreading/Drying Rate – Speed of liquid moisture spreading on fabric's inner and outer surfaces.
MMT consists of upper and lower concentric moisture sensors. The specimen is held flat under fixed pressure between the sensors while standard test solution is introduced on to the top surface of the fabric. Electrical resistance changes between the upper and lower sensors are then recorded dynamically on computer.
