Instruments & Meters

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& acute;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 permits the measurement of the following indexes:

- Wetting Time Top/Bottom (WTT/WTB)

- Absorption Rate Top/Bottom (TAR/BAR)

- Maximum Wetted Radius Top/Bottom (MWRT/MWRB)

- Spreading Speed Top/Bottom (TSS/BSS)

- Accumulative One-Way Transport Capacity (R)

- Overall Moisture Management Capacity (OMMC)
