This test measures the air permeability of fabrics according to standard EN ISO 9237. The test is suited for most types of fabrics, including industrial fabrics for technical purposes, nonwovens, and made-up textile articles.
Testing principle:
The rate of flow of air passing perpendicularly through a given area of fabric is measured at a given pressure difference across the fabric test area over a given time period.
Test results:
The result will be given in l/m2/s, expressing the amount of air that passes through a square meter of fabric in one second.
