An Automotive HVAC Manikin is a specialized thermal manikin designed for evaluating thermal comfort inside vehicle cabins. It simulates human heat exchange, sweating behavior, and physiological responses under various environmental conditions.

A Sweating Thermal Manikin is a sophisticated testing device designed to simulate the human body's response to heat, sweating, and moisture evaporation in various environments. Unlike traditional thermal manikins that primarily measure heat transfer, swe

The Thermal Manikin Evaporative Resistance Test defined by ASTM F2370 is a standardized procedure used to measure the evaporative resistance of clothing materials and ensembles. The test evaluates how well a garment allows the evaporation of moisture from

The key standard defining thermal comfort:
ISO 7730 - Ergonomics of the Thermal Environment: Analytical Determination and Interpretation of Thermal Comfort Using Calculation of the PMV and PPD Indices

A thermal manikin is a highly specialized device designed to replicate human body heat and simulate human thermal behavior in various environmental conditions. By closely mimicking the body’s response to temperature changes, these manikins provide detaile

Automotive HVAC manikins are invaluable tools for evaluating the performance of HVAC systems and ensuring passenger comfort. However, for testing to be reliable and meaningful, it must be conducted in compliance with recognized international standards. IS

This article explains all major global standards related to Thermal Manikins, what they measure, and how to apply them correctly. By understanding ISO, ASTM, EN, NFPA, SAE, ASHRAE, and GB standards — and when to apply each — manufacturers and testing labs

A Ballast Dummy is a weight-adjustable test device designed to simulate the mass, center of gravity, and weight distribution of human occupants.

Crash Test Dummies — also known as Impact Test Dummies — play a central role in modern automotive safety development.

In vehicle development, the H-point (hip point) is one of the most critical references in the entire cabin layout process. It influences seat comfort, driver posture, airbag deployment, crash dummy positioning, visibility, reachability, and overall occupa
