Whole shoe breathability and heat preservation testing machine

Standard 

• SATRA TM376: Thermal insulation testing of footwear with sock integration.
• SATRA TM386: Water vapor permeability assessment for athletic and outdoor footwear.
• SATRA TM436: Comprehensive sweat management evaluation for industrial safety shoes.

Product Advantages

1. Holistic Performance Analysis

• 3-in-1 Testing: Simultaneously evaluates thermal insulation, moisture absorption, and air permeability.
• Real-World Simulation: Replicates in-shoe microclimates with sweat generation and dynamic airflow.

2. Anatomical Precision

• Articulated Foot Model: Mimics human foot biomechanics with 22 articulating joints.
• Sock-Integrated Testing: Accounts for material interactions with standard/athletic socks (cotton, merino, synthetic).

3. Versatile Applications

• Multi-Category Use: Validates sports, hiking, work, and casual footwear.
• Material Development: Compares leather, mesh, membrane, and foam components.

4. User-Centric Design

• Touchscreen Workflow: Pre-loaded SATRA protocols with adjustable sweat rates (50–500 mL/hour).
• Self-Calibrating Sensors: Auto-zeroing for thermal/humidity channels.

5. Data Integrity

• 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance: Audit-ready electronic records with e-signatures.
• AI-Assisted Analytics: Machine learning identifies moisture migration patterns.
