ISO 9073-16 Test Methods for Textiles, Nonwovens, Part 16: Standard Test for Determination of Resistance to Water Penetration

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 9073-16 standard. ISO 9073-16 describes the hydrostatic pressure test, which measures the resistance of nonwoven fabrics to water penetration under various hydrostatic head pressures.

ISO 9073-16 Test Methods for Textiles, Nonwovens, Part 16: Standard Test for Determination of Resistance to Water Penetration

ISO 9073-16 applies to any nonwoven fabric intended for use as a barrier against the penetration of liquids.

A nonwoven fabric sample is mounted to form the cover on the test head chamber. This sample is subjected to a standardized water pressure increase at a constant rate until leakage appears on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric.

Test results for the hydrostatic water pressure test are measured at the point where the first drops appear in three separate areas on the sample.
