Abstract:

This investigation compares the evaluation of perceived fabric comfort using the Comfort Affective Labeled Magnitude CALM scale and the objectively measured instantaneous heat flow Qmax as measured using the KES-F7 Thermolabo II. A set of 36 fabrics was selected and evaluated using the two methods. The results indicated a high degree of agreement between the results of the two methods. This agreement is particularly significant because CALM measures principally tactile factors and, in contrast, Qmax measures thermal transfer.
