Abstract
The evaporative heat loss due to sweating plays an important role to protect the wearer from extreme environment. In this case, the function of moisture sorption, wicking, water evaporation of textile fabrics are indispensable.In this paper, for the purpose of evaluating the combined mechanism of liquid water migration which due to absorption and evaporation, a simple measuring method was devised based on wicking height method (JIS-L1096). The height of absorbed water, the weight of distilled water and the quantity of water evaporation are measured at the equilibrium state for several kinds of fabrics, (nine kinds of natural fibers and eight kinds of synthetic fibers). By means of investigating the heights of absorbed water, the volumes of distilled water and the evaporation rates of fabrics, it is proved that they have a certain relation one another. The results obtained are reported.
