The professional test mode provides flexible and rich instrument control functions to meet individual scientific research needs.
Unique, optional DataShieldTM system facilitates centralized management of user data. It supports a variety of formats of exported data. Reliable security algorithms are used to prevent data leakage. It supports universal wired and wireless LAN, optional private wireless network and third-party software.
User-oriented Service Concept
Adhering to our user-oriented service concept, Labthink has created a customization system that provides flexible and comprehensive customization services for the accommodation of non-standard specimens and packages.
Test Principle
The test specimen is mounted in the test dish which contains water or desiccant inside. The test dish is placed in the test chamber with stable temperature, humidity and air flow. The water vapor permeates through the specimen and into the dry side. By measuring the weight changes of the test dish periodically, water vapor transmission rate and other parameters can be obtained.

Designed for bench-top mounting, its compact build and environmental protection rating (IP20) make it ideal for laboratory use in exporting, manufacturing, or supplying sectors.
FAQ's of Assessing the Waterproofing Effectiveness of Rainwear Fabric Coatings:
Q: How does the Rainwear Fabric Waterproofing Tester determine the waterproofing effectiveness of fabric coatings?
A: The tester evaluates waterproofing by measuring the hydrostatic pressure each rainwear fabric sample can withstand before penetration occurs. Controlled test cycles expose specimens to distilled water, simulating real rain conditions, and the results are displayed digitally and stored for analysis.
Q: What types of rainwear fabrics and coatings can be tested with this equipment?
A: This instrument is suitable for a wide range of rainwear fabrics with various coatings, as long as samples are 100 x 100 mm in size. Adjustable sample clamping ensures compatibility with most fabric types and thicknesses used in rainwear applications.
Q: When should laboratories use the Rainwear Fabric Waterproofing Tester?
A: Laboratories employ this tester during product development, quality control procedures, and periodic inspections to ensure rainwear meets required waterproofing standards, either before market release or as part of ongoing manufacturing checks.
Q: Where is the ideal location for operating this waterproofing tester?
A: The Rainwear Fabric Waterproofing Tester is intended for bench-top use in controlled laboratory environments. It operates efficiently within humidity ranges of 40-90% RH and temperatures between 10C to 40C, compliant with safety and environmental standards.
Q: What is the process for conducting a waterproofing test with this equipment?
A: First, up to three fabric specimens are fixed using adjustable clamps. Test conditions are set via the digital touch panel, including test speed and cycles. The system then applies the desired hydrostatic pressure, documenting real-time results, which can be exported or printed for review.
Q: How can users benefit from using this tester in laboratory settings?
A: Users gain precise, repeatable data on rainwear fabric waterproofing, thanks to the instrument's accuracy, programmable cycles, and digital reporting. Automation saves time and effort, facilitating product improvement and regulatory compliance while ensuring consistent quality.
