Dragon Uniform Pte Ltd. Professional Uniform Solutions: GB/T 35263-2017 Cooling Performance Test Technical White Paper
In-Depth Technical Analysis of Standards
The GB/T 35263-2017 standard, as an authoritative testing specification in China's textile industry, has established a comprehensive scientific system for evaluating the performance of cooling textiles. This standard adopts the hot plate method principle, quantifying the cooling effect of fabrics by precisely measuring the instantaneous heat flux density changes upon contact.
Core Standard Parameters | Technical Requirements Range | Testing Condition Specifications | Allowable Error Range |
Contact Cooling Coefficient (qmax) | ≥0.15 J/(cm²·s) | ΔT=15℃ constant temperature difference | ±5% |
Testing Environment Temperature | 20±2℃ constant temperature | Relative humidity 65±4% | ±0.5℃ |
Hot Detection Plate Pressure | 12±0.5 kPa standard pressure | Contact time 30 seconds | ±0.2 kPa |
Hot Detection Plate Temperature | 35±0.5℃ simulated skin temperature | Preheating time ≥30 minutes | ±0.1℃ |
Singapore, as a typical tropical maritime climate country, presents unique climatic conditions that impose higher requirements on cooling uniforms:
Climatic Characteristics | Numerical Range | Impact Analysis on Uniforms |
Annual Average Temperature | 27-32℃ | Accelerates fabric aging, reduces cooling durability |
Relative Humidity | 75-90% | Affects sweat evaporation efficiency, increases stuffiness |
UV Index | 8-12 (Extremely High) | Causes fabric fading, reduces protective performance |
Annual Rainfall | 2000-2500mm | Increases washing frequency, affects functional durability |
