When consumers purchase waterproof fabrics such as windbreakers, outdoor tents, and baby changing pads, they often judge the waterproof effect by touching the fabric or pouring some water on it. However, when companies judge the quality of a fabric's waterproofness, they need to conduct a waterproof test. A purely subjective judgment is difficult to effectively control the waterproof performance of a fabric. A fabric hydrostatic pressure tester can accurately quantify the waterproof performance of a fabric.

The fabric hydrostatic pressure tester acts like an "examiner" of the waterproof performance of fabrics, used to determine the water resistance of various waterproof-treated fabrics, and to use scientific data to safeguard our daily protection.

Hydrostatic Head Pressure Tester

The working principle of the Hydrostatic Head Pressure Tester is to represent the resistance encountered when water passes through the fabric by measuring the hydrostatic pressure it withstands. Under standard atmospheric conditions, one side of the sample is subjected to a continuously increasing pressure until water seeps through three points, and the pressure at this point is recorded. Pressure can be applied from either the top or bottom of the sample.

Besides determining whether finished fabrics are waterproof, hydrostatic pressure testers can also help companies solve many problems. For example, when purchasing fabrics, apparel companies can use it to quickly screen out products that meet the standards and avoid after-sales complaints due to substandard waterproofing. Fabric R&D teams can use it to compare the impact of different processes on the waterproofing performance of fabrics, and then develop lighter, more breathable and durable waterproof fabrics.

With the ever-increasing demands and requirements of today's consumers for functional fabrics, fabric hydrostatic pressure testers are no longer just laboratory testing equipment, but also an indispensable quality analyst in the production chain, providing effective assurance for enterprises to improve product quality.
