Downloads:
Method:
ASTM F 1720 "Standard Test Method for Measuring the Thermal Insulation of Sleeping Bags Using a Heated Manikin" modified using child-size manikin
Instrument:
Child thermal manikin (boy’s size 8) on a cot in an environmental chamber
Temperature Ratings:
Heat transfer models based on children’s physiology at different ages are used with the insulation value to determine the temperature ratings for comfort during sleep.
