EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 811 standard. International Standard EN ISO 811 specifies a hydrostatic pressure method for determining the resistance of fabrics to water penetration. The method is applicable to all types of fabrics intended to be water resistant, whether or not they have been given a water-resistant or waterproof finish.
The EN ISO 811 standard offers a hydrostatic pressure test method to determine the resistance of fabrics to water penetration. This test method is applicable to all types of fabrics, including fabrics with a water-resistant or water-repellent finish.
Hydrostatic head pressure tester is used for these tests in advanced laboratories. This device is designed to detect the resistance of materials to penetration into water with the hydrostatic pressure method. With this device, standard test conditions are provided and the strength of the fabric against the passage of water from the tested fabric sample is measured.
The test method described in ISO 811 standard is valid for the fabrics used in the production of gloves, headgear, mask, clothing, overalls and gowns used for medical purposes. This test also includes fabrics used for impermeable applications such as tarpaulins, tents, waterproof materials and chemical protective clothing.
While performing the test, the fabric sample is fixed on the test head and the fabric face is contacted with water. The fabric is increasingly wetted or subjected to water pressure until penetration occurs in three places. In the third stage, the pressure at which water penetrates the fabric is recorded. Other fabric samples are tested in this way until the required number of satisfactory results is achieved.
Among the services provided by our organization within the framework of material testing services, there are also EN ISO 811 standard tests. Do not hesitate to contact our laboratory EUROLAB for your testing and certification requests.
