But sampling and storing methods follow KS K ISO b) Plane shaped specimen is cut into 6squares (length of a side, 20cm) Installation of Specimen a) 2 cutting specimens are putting on sweating guarded-hot plate of test equipment, making one side connected each other. But the side should not be overlapped by placing it in the middle of sweating guarded-hot plate. b) The evaporate impermeableness tape or light metal frame is used and during measurement, the specimen is fixed all around not to be moved including the center part connected with it Evaluation and Decision The test result should be mentioned to 2 places of decimals according to KS Q Cool Touch Performance Evaluation Test Methods 6

13 7.4.1 General Information When contacted, feeling cool or warm is affected by a thermal transfer from a human body to materials. This is as the criterion to evaluate cold contact performance, the heating conducted at the time for the fabric to be contacted with the metal board is measured in principle. Note For example, there is a test KES-F7 THERMO LABO ⅡB(Precise and Fast Thermal Property- Measuring Instrument) of KATO TECH Preparation of Specimen Sampling to make specimen is placed on inactive base plate (glass plate or aluminium foil taking out it from the central part of original packages. The sampling cuts into 10cm squares. Note Considerable errors may be generated from vegetability resources if the specimen absorbs the moisture to air before starting measurements so that it is necessary for the specimen to be absorbed with minimal moisture Installation of Specimen a) There should not be air layer between specimen and hotplate. In case of not adhering to the hotplate due to the material characteristics, the air layer is prevented using suitable materials. Note The air layer inevitably generated by surface shape is excluded. b) The temperature condition of test equipment should be kept from surrounding environmental effects and the temperature and humidity in a lab and hotplate are maintained equally before starting the test. c) Sensors should be attached not to be prevented from effective contact among hotplate, heat source or specimen Test Procedure a) The temperature difference between hotplate and heat source is 10 and measured with the heat changes within 0.5 second after the heat source adheres to the sampling as a rule. b) Specific thermal conductivity is received from the temperature difference and thickness of specimens, heat changes, hot-plate size. The calculation method is as follows. c) Using following formula, the value of specific thermal conductivity can be obtained Evaluation and Decision It is indicated to 4 places of decimals according to KS Q 5002 in the test result. 7
