The air permeability of fabric


Fabric air permeability is a measure to what extent it gives air passing through the fabric. Air permeability, a given area in the vertical direction of the air flow rate, a given time period, as measured by the fabric test area inside the pressure difference of the fabric. Basically, it depends on weight, thickness and porosity of fabric. The porosity of fabric is the demonstration of the air gap as a percentage within the fabric. It has been important for especially the tent fabric and parachute.


The air permeability of a fabric is the volume of air measured in cubic centimeters passed per second through 1 cm2 of the fabric at a pressure of 1 cm of water.The air resistance of a fabric is the time in seconds for 1 cm3 of air to pass through 1cm2 of the fabric under a pressure head of 1 cm of water. Air resistance is the reciprocal of air permeability.


The reciprocal of air permeability, air resistance, can be defined as the time in seconds for ImI of air to pass through 100s mm2 of fabric under a pressure head of 10mm of water. The advantage of using air resistance instead of air permeability to characterize a fabric is that in an assembly of a number of fabrics, the total air resistance is then the sum of the individual air resistance.

Auto Air Permeability Test Apparatus for Fabric is used for fast, simple, and accurate determination of the air permeability of all kinds of flat materials and of foam cubes. The measuring range covers dense papers and airbag fabrics as well as extremely open non-wovens and forming fabrics.

The Leather Friction Color Fastness Tester

Leather friction color fastness tester applied to test leather property in shoes, clothing, luggage handbag industry, research laboratories; commodity inspection, arbitration and technical supervision departments.Leather friction color fastness tester test the degree of decolorization of dyeing leather after friction. It can used to test the leather color resistance to dry, wet and friction. This instrument is suitable for leather, textile, belt, trademarks, cardboard and other friction materials by foreign object damage and decoloring. The machine is designed to carry out a rub fastness test on the surface of leather or coated fabrics to determine the marring of the surface finish and to assess the amount of color transfer from the sample to the rubbing pad. This machine is designed to determining the colorfastness of leather, plastics and textile materials. The colorfastness is assessed by checking change in color of the specimen and stain of the felt after rubbing the ...

How Sublimation Fastness Tester Works?

Sublimation Fastness Tester is a suitable instrument for dyestuff manufacturers as well as textile processors for checking effects of dry heat on dyestuff. Qinsun-lab offers Sublimation Fastness Tester of the best quality and at the best price which gives accurate results.    Features of Sublimation Fastness Tester : Testing the effect of direct heat on the dyestuff； up to 250°C temperature range； Independent digital timers with the minimum display of 1℃(one with each of top and bottom plates, respectively)； Can test entire range of temperature in a single test.                           Working Principle: A dyed cloth piece is sandwiched between two undyed pieces and placed to cover the heat pads and the test goes on for a preset time period. The fabric pieces should be picked up immediately. The undyed fabric pieces will be stained by the dyes. This gives the sublimation fastness ...

what is the Working Principle of fogging tester?

Fogging Test Chamber   is the best tool to determine the fogging characteristics of automotive or other vehicle interior materials. The fogging tester is applicable for gravimetric method, photometric method and haze measurement method. Working Principle: The main frame of the Fogging tester includes a water sink fully filled with specified ethylene glycol, which can reach a high temperature. At the time of testing, leather specimens are put in the six standard glass containers filled with  high temperature liquid, and the stainless steel containers are placed above each glass. Relying on the constant water flow distribution, the temperature can maintain at 20℃ constantly, and it can be adjusted through the regulation device connected to the main frame. This controlled environment condition will generate a layer of “fog” on the surface of specimens. The operator can determine the fogging characteristics of materials based on gravimetric analysis method or refraction...
