PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure sweating amount on skin surface directly and precisely, by measuring electric conductivity by mixing sweat from skin surface with pure water which is introduced from outside, and by arithmetically operating the sweating amount consecutively based on the electric conductivity. SOLUTION: Pure water which is stored in a pure water storage tank 2 is circulated in a water pathway which is composed of a tube 3, a sensor 1, a tube 5A, a pump 6, a tube 5B, an ion exchanger 4, and a tube 7 by operating the pump 6, in a sweating amount consecutively measuring device. In this process, sweat from skin S and pure water are mixed in a hole which is opened at a lower end face of the sensor 1, and are drained from a drain opening 1B of the sensor 1 to the tube 5A. The sensor 1 is provided with an electrode so that electric conductivity (electric conductivity of pure water is measured by an electric conductivity measuring instrument 21) of the mixed water can be measured by an electric conductivity measuring instrument 22 while this mixed water is drained front the drain opening 1B, and the electric conductivities of the pure water and the mixed water which are once measured are inputted into a computer 23, thereby, sweating amount from the skin S is consecutively arithmetically operated and displayed. |
