Water Impact Penetration Testing

PLEASE NOTE THAT SELECTING A DATE ON THE RESERVATION CALENDAR SECURES YOU A SPOT IN OUR TESTING QUEUE. ONCE WE RECEIVE YOUR SAMPLES, OUR TESTING TEAM WILL NOTIFY YOU OF YOUR TESTING DATE. For further information, please contact Mark Keene at mark_keene@uml.edu. Water impact penetration testing measures the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by impact. A specified amount of water is sprayed against a taut specimen against adsorbent blotting paper. The paper is weighed before and after testing to determine the amount of water penetration. The test complies with AATCC Test Method 42, Water Resistance: Impact Penetration Test.
