Abstract
A new idea of transepidermal water loss factor measurement is presented in the report. Constructed measurement system is base on fast dew point hygrometer with close chamber. For better skin parameterisation, an electrical model of water vapour evaporation through the skin was developed and presented in the paper. Both the experimental results of the dew point hygrometer tests as well as test examination results are shown.
