20100326221 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING DRYING TIME OF QUICK WET AND DRIED FABRICS - Disclosed is a method for measuring the drying time of a moisture-wicking and quick-drying material that enables convenient and precise measurement of the drying time of the material by creating an environment similar to the skin surface of a human body wearing clothes. The method includes: creating a temperature and humidity state similar to a condition in which sweat of a human body is shed on the bottom surface of a test material; blowing wind to the upper surface of the test material at a speed similar to a speed at which a human being is walking; dropping distilled water to the upper surface of the test material with the temperature and humidity state and the wind speed being maintained constant; and measuring the drying time of the test material with the distilled water having been dropped to the upper surface of the test material. | 12-30-2010 |
