Recently, the project "Development of a Thermal Conductivity Testing System for Protective Clothing" jointly developed by the Shandong Provincial Textile Science Research Institute and the Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Special Textile Processing Technology has won the Second Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress of the China Textile Industry Association.

The winning project "Development of a Thermal Conductivity Testing System for Protective Clothing" is a 2018 technology guidance project of the China Textile Industry Association, with the project number 2018076. The thermal protective clothing is designed to provide safety protection for workers in high-temperature conditions, preventing heat sources from causing burns or scalds to the human body, and also ensuring the integrity and comfort of the clothing when exposed to heat. The protective principle of thermal protective clothing is to reduce the speed of heat transfer, allowing the high heat from the outside to slowly and partially transfer to the skin. This project aims to study the time required for cumulative heat on the back of the test sample to cause pain in human tissues and second-degree burns to human tissues under constant pressure, in order to evaluate the thermal insulation performance of the tested materials. Human tissue pain is a research that has never been conducted before. This project has established a thermal protective performance evaluation system based on human tissue pain and second-degree burn tolerance. The developed testing instrument complies with the technical requirements of ASTM F1060-2018 Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Conductive and Compressive Heat Resistance (CCHR). The instrument "LFY-666 Protective Clothing Thermal Conductivity and Anti-Pressure Heat Resistance Testing Instrument" developed in this project is a domestic first.
