The permeability of small textile samples to water vapor has been evaluated using a conventional DSC cell. The technique enables evaporative rate data to be determined and comparisons made of materials having different characteristics. The data are useful in predicting evaporative sweat loss rates, thereby helping to evaluate metabolic heat loss problems associated with protective clothing for firefighters.
