Fabric permeability system
Mecanum’s Fabric Permeability System is specially designed to measure the air permeability of most types of fabrics, including industrial fabrics for technical purpose, nonwovens or made-up textiles that are permeable to air.
Why choose Mecanum’s Fabric Permeability System?
Follows ISO 9237 and ISO 9073-15 standards
Choosing a Fabric Permeability System compliant with ISO and ASTM standards ensures accuracy, reliability, and global acceptance. It offers precise measurements, compatibility with other equipment, regulatory compliance, and long-term value, making it a prudent choice for industries and research where air permeability data are crucial.
Made for quality control in production and suppliers control
Mecanum’s Fabric Permeability System can be integrated at the end of the production line to test product quality and consistency. The measurement procedure is simple and the software guides the operator to ensure a reliable response, without the need for long and costly training.
The air permeability allows to measure how air can pass through a fabric. This is an essential design parameter for fabrics or non-woven for by example air filters, airbags, tents, sails, parachute, or rain gear. As air permeability is directly related to fibers interlacing and density, our FPS is a very efficient tool for quality control of your fabric’s products.
