Abstract

Experiment I and II had done to develop the solar heat proof hat for field work in the summer. In the experiment I physical characteristics of several fabrics was tested to determine which one Is proper to make the solar heat proof hat. On the base of above results in the experiment II three improved solar heat proof hat was deviced and tested solar heat proof effect and compared the existing summer working hat by wearing trials in the environmental chamber. The results obtained were as follows. 1. In the view of the physical characteristics of six fabrics (Blue T/C, White poplin, Vapor transfer silver coating nylon taffeta, No vapor trans(or silver coating nylon taffeta, Aluminum coating T/C, Microporous fabric), the light color T/C and no vapor transfer silver coating nylon ta(feta is proper to make improved solar heat proof working hat. 2. Three improved hats that are made of white T/C, grey T/C and no vapor transfer silver coating nylon taffeta have more solar heat proof effect than the existing summer working hat. 3. Among the three improved hats, the improved hat that is made of no vapor transfer silver coating nylon taffeta is most effective to proof the solar heat.
