The rate of evaporative water loss is measured by recording the difference in water vapor concentration in a stream of air before and after it passes over a man enclosed in a sealed chamber. An infra‐red gas analyzer is employed for measuring the difference in water vapor concentration. Construction and application of the apparatus are discussed.
