Air Permeability Tester

About Air Permeability Tester

Air Permeability Tester of textile fabrics complies with ASTM D737. ISO 9237/7231. BS 5636. etc. It is used to test the resistance of the flow of air through fabrics. There is different air permeability test method to do air permeability testing for textiles, we can offer all the test methods and competitive price.

Applications

The Air Permeability Tester accurately and swiftly determines the resistance of fabrics (woven, knitted and nonwoven textile) to the passage of air (air flow) under constant pre-set air pressure while firmly clamped in the test rig of selected test head/area. The air permeability of the fabric is calculated automatically within a short time.

IOT technology allows for remote real-time monitoring of the test status, and test reports are simultaneously transmitted to mobile devices for export and printing.

The intelligent human-machine interface provides guided operation, making it easy to use with no learning curve.

Built-in testing standards allow for one-click access to key operating points, ensuring quick and efficient operation.

The device automatically identifies the appropriate test fixture heads for different measurement ranges.

Parameters and units can be freely set according to different national standards, eliminating the need for unit conversion of test results.

High-quality core components, including imported pressure sensors from international brands, further guarantee the accuracy of test data.

Technical Parameters

Test Procedures

1. Sample Preparation

Prepare fabric samples of appropriate size according to testing standards or customer requirements, ensuring the sample surface is flat and free of defects.

2. Setting Test Parameters

Set the test parameters of the testing instrument according to testing standards or customer requirements, such as pressure difference, measurement time, and measurement units.

3. Conducting the Air Permeability Test

Place the sample in the test chamber and start the testing instrument, allowing air to pass through the sample under the preset pressure difference. The testing instrument will automatically record and calculate the speed or flow rate of air passing through the sample.

4. Evaluating Test Results

Evaluate the air permeability performance of the sample according to testing standards or customer requirements. Air permeability rate or air permeability index are typically used to assess the air permeability performance of the sample.
