MAESER Water Penetration Testing Machine GT-KC05

Application

Maeser water penetration tester To determine the resistance of leather, artical leather, fabric and so on material to water penetration on flexing. The method is mainly applicable to footwear upper outer materials but can be used with any flexible sheet material.

Principle

1. A square test specimen is folded and secured in two V-shaped clamps which have closed ends so as to form a trough. The trough is then immersed in water and the clamps oscillate at a constant speed so that the specimen is repeatedly flexed. The test is stopped at the first sign of water penetration through the test specimen.
