Abstract:
This article reports the outcome of strain and moisture on the presentation of newly developed Temperature Sensing Fabric (TSF) in the workshop environment. Temperature Sensing Fabric is a double layer crocheted structure; made of polyester as a basal yarn and surrounded with fine metallic wire as recognizing element. Fabricated on a manufacturing scale computerized knitting machine, the TSF samples made of nickel, tungsten and copper wires in the form of bare and isolated form were used in this study. In order to investigate the concert of TSF under variability of strain and humidity environment, tailor-made methods were devised, as significant standards were not available. In strain testing, the TSF trials made of insulated sensing wire completed better in comparison to the samples made with bare sensing wires. Outcomes of the humidity challenging revealed that all kinds of TSF samples could be used in a high humidity environment (up to 90% RH) without any negotiation in their identifying presentation.
