Full-Body Garment Stress Tester

The Full-Body Garment Stress Tester is a precision instrument designed to quantify the pressure exerted by tight-fitting garments or wearable apparel on the human body. You can use it to convert the tactile perception of garment pressure into measurable data, enabling accurate evaluation of comfort, support, and functionality. The device supports both static and dynamic testing on a mannequin, providing comprehensive pressure mapping for design optimization and performance verification.

Applications

Full-Body Garment Stress Tester is used to evaluate the pressure exerted by various form-fitting garments or other wearable apparel on the human body. It quantifies the perceived pressure of clothing on the body into specific numerical data and enables assessment of test results. The manikin can perform both static and dynamic testing.

Dynamic postures meet the following requirements, considering the integrity of the form: the rear of the knees must not be left unprotected.

Test Procedures

I. Equipment Preparation and Calibration

Parameter Verification: Ensure equipment complies with FZ/T70015-2022 standards. The pressure manikin uses the average Asian female physique (height 155–165 cm).

Sensor Inspection: All 26 sensors must have flat surfaces and stable configurations to ensure independent measurements without interference.

‌Range Calibration: Pressure measurement range 0–90 mmHg, test accuracy ≤0.1 mmHg, resolution ≤0.1 mmHg.

II. Test Procedure

‌1. Static Testing:

Place the garment over the pressure manikin and adjust to the standard posture (void space behind knees).

Activate the equipment, record pressure values at each point, and analyze pressure distribution uniformity.

2. Dynamic Testing:

Simulate movement postures (e.g., running, jumping) and observe pressure changes.

Focus on pressure values in high-activity areas (e.g., armpits, waist).

III. Data Interpretation and Optimization

1. Comfort Assessment:

Excessive pressure (>90 mmHg) may cause constriction, while insufficient pressure fails to provide adequate support.

Optimize pressure distribution by adjusting fabric elasticity or cutting techniques.

2. Function Verification:

Performance compression garments must deliver moderate pressure to key muscle groups (e.g., thighs, calves) to reduce muscle vibration.

Medical garments must ensure uniform pressure distribution to prevent blood circulation obstruction.

FAQ

1. Can the device measure pressure on all types of tight-fitting garments?

Yes, you can measure compression sportswear, medical garments, shapewear, and other wearable apparel.

2. How accurate is the pressure measurement?

The device provides pressure measurement with an accuracy of ≤0.1 mmHg and a resolution of ≤0.1 mmHg.

3. How is dynamic testing performed?

You simulate motion such as running or jumping on the mannequin. The system records pressure changes at all 26 points, focusing on high-movement areas.

4. Can the data be used for garment optimization?

Yes, pressure maps allow you to evaluate comfort, adjust fabric elasticity, and modify garment cuts for optimal performance.

5. What maintenance is required for the sensors?

You should regularly inspect the sensors for surface flatness, ensure stability, prevent interference, and perform calibration using reference standards.
