Since its formation in 1983,
The CORD Group Limited has assisted in enhancing human
performance in extreme environments through research
and evaluation of protection technology.
CORD has designed and developed a Thermal Instrumented
Manikin Test System (TIM) for evaluating the comfort
level of human-use apparel, including thermal insulation
and vapour transmission.
TIM is a robust, finished product intended for both research
and commercial applications, and is available for purchase
or lease. It is built to a standard design, thoroughly
tested and shipped to the customer as a complete package.
The Royal Air Force currently has two TIM manikins in
operation in Farnborough, England.
Testing the thermal insulation in immersion suits provided
the beginnings of CORD's own Testing and Evaluation Service.
Utilizing TIM, CORD provides thermal testing and evaluation
in aid of product research and development, and standards
approval for various apparel manufacturers.
CORD has equipment to assess buoyancy and flotation
characteristics of flotation apparel, one of which includes a
flotation manikin. In addition, CORD conducts human performance
testing on various protective clothing ensembles, thermal
recovery capsules for hypothermia casualties, sleeping bags,
rescue boat crew equipment, flotation vest, yachting clothing,
and snowmobile and windsurfing suits.
Recently, CORD has developed the TOM series of manikins (Thermal
Observation Manikin) also known as thermal comfort manikins.
They were designed for thermal analysis work in the design of
climate control systems and confined workspaces, such as,
cockpits or vehicles. Due t the highly transient and
heterogeneous temperature distribution in vehicle interiors,
these manikins must be more highly segmented and have a faster
response than thermal protective garment manikins. As well, this
manikin is excellent for the insulation evaluation of al types of
clothing ensembles, in air and wind conditions, giving both
sectional and overall values of insulation.
