Watch the GT-C95 Heat Transfer Index Tester in operation and learn how heat transmission through protective materials is evaluated under flame exposure.
The GESTER GT-C95 Heat Transfer Index Tester is designed for evaluating the heat transmission performance of protective clothing materials, fire-resistant textiles, firefighting materials and other heat-protective assemblies.
In this short operation video, see how the tester is prepared, how the test specimen is positioned, how the flame exposure is applied, and how the temperature rise and testing time are monitored.
Model: GT-C95
Test Method: Heat Transmission Through Protective Materials
Main Standard: EN367, ISO 9151
Application: Protective Clothing, Fire-Resistant Materials & PPE Testing
What Is a Heat Transfer Index Tester?
A Heat Transfer Index Tester is laboratory testing equipment used to evaluate how quickly thermal energy is transmitted through protective materials when exposed to a specified flame heat source.
For protective clothing and heat-resistant materials, heat transmission performance is an important consideration because the material structure can influence how rapidly heat reaches the side facing the wearer.
The ISO 9151 HTI test device GT-C95 measures the time required for the calorimeter temperature to increase by a specified amount under controlled test conditions. This result can be used as a Heat Transfer Index (HTI) for comparing the relative heat transmission performance of materials.
The ISO 9151 method is specifically intended for materials or material assemblies used in protective clothing.
Why Heat Transfer Testing Matters
Heat-resistant appearance alone does not provide enough information about the thermal transmission characteristics of a protective material.
Heat transfer testing can support:
Protective clothing material development
Fire-resistant textile evaluation
PPE quality control
Material comparison
Laboratory testing
Product performance verification
Protective clothing research and development
Production quality assurance
Why Choose GESTER Heat Transmission Resistance Test Device GT-C95?
Selecting a thermal testing machine is not only about the equipment itself. For buyers, long-term technical support, manufacturing capability and application experience are equally important.
