DIN 53887 Textile Tests - Standard Test for Determination of Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 53887 testing. The air permeability tester for textiles consists of an arrangement to hold the test specimens between two flat faces to expose a known area to the flow of air passing through it, and a vacuum system to extract air from the exposed area of ​​the test. There is an arrangement for measuring the volume of air passing through the test sample and an arrangement for measuring the pressure drop between the faces of the test sample.

The test specimen is held between two round-shaped handles. The handles are covered with rubber gasket to prevent air leakage from the edges. Test specimens can be held by two handles with the aid of a hand-operated screw mechanism.

The vacuum required to draw air from the test samples is created by the vacuum pump supplied with the device. Vacuum pressure is measured with a digital manometer (or manometer tube) of water level in mm, and air flow is measured with Rotameters connected to the device. The equipment is metallic paint and bright chrome plated for corrosion resistant finish.
