Wicking test conditions.
|
(i) 0.1 g of Liquid water applied to top surface of fabric. | | |
(ii) Test temperature of 30°C. | | |
(iii) Gas flow rates of 2 L/min on both sides of fabric. | | |
(iv) Humidity is fractional (0.80 is 80% r.h.). | | |
| Humidity on top | Humidity on bottom | Humidity gradient | Mean relative humidity |
