Summary

The Japanese sweating mannequin TOM-III evaluated flight coverall microclimates. The CWU-66/P chemical defense flight coverall demonstrated superior heat stress management compared to the JASDF summer-type flight coverall.

Area of Science:

  • Human physiology
  • Textile science
  • Aerospace engineering

Background:

  • Assessing pilot clothing microclimate is crucial for heat stress evaluation.
  • Individual variations in pilots pose challenges for accurate heat stress assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the microclimate of flight coveralls using a Japanese type sweating mannequin (TOM-III).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the TOM-III sweating mannequin with regulated sweat rate and body temperature.
  • Employed 20 temperature/humidity sensors on the mannequin to measure clothing microclimate.
  • Tested four clothing assemblies (CWU-66/P, JASDF summer-type, cotton underwear, CWU-66/P with cotton underwear) in a controlled climatic chamber.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The CWU-66/P flight coverall exhibited lower inside relative humidity (IRH) compared to the JASDF flight coverall during sweating.
  • At the end of the sweating period, CWU-66/P showed significantly lower IRH (46.2%) than the JASDF coverall (52.6%).
  • The CWU-66/P flight coverall proved more effective in managing heat stress than the JASDF summer-type flight coverall.

Conclusions:

  • The TOM-III sweating mannequin is a valuable tool for evaluating clothing microclimates.
  • This mannequin allows for clothing development and assessment without accounting for individual human variations.
  • The study supports the use of standardized testing for flight coverall performance in diverse climatic conditions.
