Fabric air permeability testers measure how fast air passes through a material at a set pressure difference. The result shows breathability and airflow resistance. Models cover pressure ranges up to 4000 Pa, and measuring ranges reach 12000 mm/s with +/- 2% error. One model offers test areas of 5, 10 and 20 cm2 and a mask test at 8 L/min. Another uses a 20 cm2 test head. Measure ranges include mm/s, L/dm2/min and Pa/cm2 units on one model. Pressure difference on one model runs from 0 to 2 kPa. Fabric thickness limits are 12 or 15 mm on two models. Confirm the standard method, test area and pressure drop before choosing a model. Typical samples range from fabrics and leather to cardboard.

Selection Guide for Fabric Air Permeability Tester
When selecting Fabric Air Permeability Tester, it is important to consider the correct range for the fabric. Most testers offer a broad measurement range, usually from 0.1 to 10,000 liters per square meter per second. Low-permeability fabrics like coated or windproof textiles usually require a range between 0.1 and 50 l/m²/s. Medium-permeability fabrics such as sportswear or upholstery typically need a range of 50 to 1000 l/m²/s. Highly breathable materials like mesh, nonwovens, or filter media may need up to a 10,000+ l/m²/s range. It is also important to check the test pressure range, test area size, and preferred units for accurate measurements. Selecting the right range ensures reliable test results and supports product quality control and performance evaluation. This is not limited to these applications; the range can be chosen depending on the specific testing requirements.
