Air permeability of textiles

This test measures the air permeability of fabrics according to standard EN ISO 9237. Most types of fabrics, including industrial fabrics for technical purposes, nonwovens, and made-up textile articles, are suited for the test.

The result will be given in l/m2/s, expressing the amount of air that passes through a square meter of fabric in one second.
