ISO 9237: Air Permeability Testing for Textiles

 

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

  1. The test fabric is mounted on a circular specimen holder.
  2. Air is forced through the fabric using a suction pump until a specified pressure drop is achieved.
  3. Airflow through the fabric is recorded after at least 1 minute or once steady conditions are reached.
  4. The test is repeated at least 10 times at different locations on the fabric sample, under the same conditions, to ensure consistency.
