Comprehensive CB Testing: Designed specifically for evaluating the performance of CB protective clothing and equipment under conditions relevant to military operations.
Realistic Simulation: Combines realistic physical articulation and movement simulation with controlled heating and sweating to replicate human physiological responses during exertion.
Evaluates Barrier and Comfort: Allows for assessment of both the protective barrier integrity (via dosimeter ports) and the thermal comfort/physiological burden of the protective gear.
Chemically Resistant: Constructed with materials capable of withstanding exposure to chemical agents and decontamination procedures.
Dynamic Testing: Capable of performing a wide range of dynamic movements to assess garment performance under realistic stress.
Precise Control: Computer-controlled systems for heating, sweating, and motion ensure repeatable and accurate test conditions.
Integrated Data Collection: Includes built-in dosimeter ports for convenient and strategic placement of passive samplers.
High Sweat Rate: Capable of simulating high levels of perspiration during strenuous activity.
Developed for Defense: Commissioned by a defense research organization, reflecting its design for rigorous military applications.
