A method for measuring water exchange through human skin has been developed. It is based on estimation of the vapour pressure gradient immediately above the surface of the skin and permits the skin area investigated to be exposed to the ambient air during the entire period of measurement. Influence on the microclimate above the skin, with respect to humidity and temperature, is thereby minimized. An instrument for measuring small amounts of water evaporated from or absorbed by a surface per unit time and area is described and its accuracy discussed. The instrument has a high degree of accuracy and better sensitivity than previously described devices used for this purpose. It has been used primarily to investigate the rate of evaporation from the skin surface in newborn infants and from the skin in patients with burns.
一种测量人体皮肤水分交换的方法已被开发出来。它基于对皮肤表面上方蒸汽压梯度的估计，并允许在整个测量期间将所研究的皮肤区域暴露于环境空气中。由此，对皮肤上方微气候的湿度和温度影响被降至最低。描述了一种用于测量单位时间和面积内从表面蒸发或吸收的少量水分的仪器，并讨论了其准确性。该仪器具有高度准确性，且比此前用于此目的的设备具有更高的灵敏度。它主要用于研究新生儿皮肤表面的蒸发速率以及烧伤患者皮肤的蒸发速率。
