Determination of resistance to water penetration

Fabrics that should be waterproof are tested with increasing water pressure until drops penetrates the surface.

Testing

Fabrics that should be waterproof are tested using this method. Testing is conducted with 5 test specimens per material. The pressure is increased at a constant rate until drops penetrate. We can also perform static testing where the pressure is held constant for a certain period. Testing can be carried out over seams to check the seam’s tightness. Pre-treatment in the form of washing or various types of abrasion may occur.
