Perspiring Thermal Artificial Foot

Introduction
 The perspiring thermal artificial foot model is designed to measure and evaluate the comfortableness of shoes, such as thermal transmittance, air permeability, moisture permeability, etc. It is suitable for the quality control of footwear production and function verification of newly developed and designed products.
The sensory experience of shoe comfortableness is numerically expressed with test results, which converts the comfort evaluation into objective data. The test avoids different results and unreliable performance comparison due to human sensory difference, and achieves the comparison of comfortableness among different styles of shoes.
The European shoe size 41 designed for western adult men (different shoe size customizable as per requirements), 9 independent control segments, mobile toes and ankle, is convenient for shoes to take on/off.
 
Features
 · 9 independent control segments, independent supervisory system.
· Epoxy resin matrix foot model
·  Perspiring skin, customizable for replacement.
· Mobile toes and ankle, convenient for shoes to take on/off.
· Encircling heating assembly, matched with encircling sensors
· Precision wire-type temperature sensor, to avoid temperature deviation between single-point detection temperature and actual temperature.
· Built-in water system with flow adjustable by high precision flow pump.
·  Height raised in design, to ensure that heat only emits out form the tested section rather than the upper area of the artificial foot.
· Insulting supporting frame
· NI DAO system, efficient integration, stable and reliable
· Visualization display of pictures and numerical value
· Test result accessible for extraction at any time, real-time display of the test data.
 · Control software incorporated with data acquisition, real-time data statistics, and self calibration function.
· Visual display of thermal resistance and vaporization resistance test results.
· Various control modes: temperature control, heat flux control, comfortableness control and optional custom mode.
