ISO 9237: Air Permeability Testing for Textiles
Overview
OverviewThe ISO 9237 standard outlines a test method for determining the air permeability of textiles, assessing how easily air can pass through fabric materials. This test is crucial for manufacturers looking to validate claims about breathability and performance.
Textiles That Can Be Tested
- Any textile material requiring verification of air permeability
- Fabrics used in clothing, upholstery, and technical applications
ISO 9237 Test Description
- The test fabric is mounted on a circular specimen holder.
- Air is forced through the fabric using a suction pump until a specified pressure drop is achieved.
- Airflow through the fabric is recorded after at least 1 minute or once steady conditions are reached.
- The test is repeated at least 10 times at different locations on the fabric sample, under the same conditions, to ensure consistency.
