Test Principle
Method A
Providing a constant air flux going through the specimen vertically, the air permeability could be obtained by measuring the pressure difference.
Method B
Providing the constant pressure difference between two sides of the specimen, the air permeability could be obtained by measuring the air flux through specific area in the certain time.

FAQ's of Lab Instrument for Measuring Leather Shoe Permeability:
Q: How does the Lab Permeability Tester measure water vapor permeability in leather shoe uppers?
A: The instrument uses a precision flow sensor and digital control to quantify the water vapor passing through leather shoe specimens during testing. Using provided accessories and a 500 ml water tank, the device measures permeability with a test speed of 60 cycles/min, providing real-time results on the digital LED display.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this instrument in a laboratory setting?
A: Key benefits include high measurement accuracy (2%), dual testing heads for parallel processing, memory storage for result tracking, and compliance with ISO 20344 and GB/T 20991 standards. Its semi-automatic operation, safety features, and factory calibration ensure ease of use and reliable repeatability.
Q: When should I calibrate the Lab Permeability Tester?
A: The instrument is factory calibrated and shipped with a calibration certificate. Regular calibration checks are advised yearly or whenever you observe unusual results or after major maintenance. Follow your lab's quality procedures for ongoing calibration validation.
Q: Where is this tester typically used, and can it be placed on regular lab benches?
A: Designed for laboratory environments, the tester is compact and operates quietly (noise level <60 dB). With its tabletop mounting type and dimensions (600 x 430 x 550 mm), it fits on most standard lab benches without special requirements.
Q: What is the process for preparing and running a permeability test with this equipment?
A: To run a test, prepare two leather specimens (60 x 60 mm each), insert them into the dual test heads, fill the 500 ml water tank, and connect the water supply pipe. Use the digital controls to set test parameters. The machine will operate at 60 cycles/min; results are displayed digitally and can be exported via RS232 interface.
Q: Which accessories are included with the equipment and what are they used for?
A: Included accessories are a measuring cylinder for water volume, a water supply pipe for easy filling, spare seals for maintenance, and a comprehensive calibration certificate to verify accuracy and compliance.
Q: What makes this Lab Permeability Tester suitable for compliance and exporting worldwide?
A: It meets international standards (ISO 20344, GB/T 20991), features digital calibration, robust powder-coated steel construction, and supports global requirements via the 220V AC power supply. These attributes support manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers aiming for consistent quality and regulatory adherence.
