The “SIMON” thermal manikin system was built in accordance with ASTM and ISO standards to meet the product evaluation needs of sleeping bag manufacturers and research/testing institutes.
Simplified construction and modular control electronics have helped to lower costs while retaining the advanced features that have made MTNW thermal manikins the industry standard.
SIMON is constructed of a thermally conductive carbon-epoxy shell with embedded heating and sensor wire elements. Jointed at the hips and shoulders only, and with simplified hands and feet, the 13-zone SIMON manikin is an excellent tool for general product testing.
