Abstract

Experimental studies helped to compare methods for determining and calculating total heat resistance of clothing sets accepted by Russian and international standards.
Findings are that difference in the total heat resistance values calculated on humans and on dummies in relatively still air and quiet conditions is caused by measurement technique applied. Significant difference in the total heat resistance values calculated in windy conditions or during walk require further research aimed to study influence of those factors on clothes' heat resistance.
