摘要
For efficiently measuring ultraviolet transmission through clothing materials for a large number of samples, an automated measuring system with a broad-band method has been built and calibrated against a spectroradiometer based instrument. The apparatus can be used to test 60 samples in 25 min. A selection of clothing materials of known composition, weave, color and state have been tested, using the broad band method and the automated measuring system together with a solar ultraviolet simulator. Variations of about eleven times for different weave structure, about two times in the ultraviolet transmittance for different colors, and about 20 times for some stretched samples were observed. For wet conditions, an increment in ultraviolet transmittance for cotton and lycra materials and a decrement for polyester and polyester(65%)/cotton(35%) were also observed.
