Water Penetration Resistance Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-FTE-13163
Quick Answer: The Water Penetration Resistance Tester, listed as Water Penetration Resistance - Very Low Range, is used to test how well coated fabrics resist penetration of water through their coatings, using the low pressure method with the specimen held over an open well with a circular opening of 100 cm².
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Tests the resistance of coated fabrics to penetration of water through the coating
- Pressure on the coated side can be increased gradually to find the pressure at which the first drop penetrates
- Or a fixed known pressure can be applied for a specified time to find how long the first drop takes to penetrate
- Listed as the very low range model
- Specimen held over an open well with a circular opening of 100 cm² area
- Pressure is either increased at a specified rate or kept constant at a specified value

About This Product
A coated fabric is chosen for many applications partly by how well its coating keeps water out. Resistance to water penetration is tested by applying hydraulic pressure to the coated side of a specimen. In one approach the pressure is raised steadily until the first drop of water comes through. In another, a known pressure is held for a set time and the time taken for the first drop to penetrate is noted. A low or a high pressure is chosen according to the final use of the fabric, and this tester is listed for the very low range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Water Penetration Resistance Tester measure?
It measures the ability of coated fabrics to resist penetration of water through their coatings.
Q2. How is the test carried out?
Either a gradually increasing hydraulic pressure is applied on the coated side to find the pressure at which the first drop penetrates, or a fixed known pressure is applied for a specified time to find how long the first drop takes to penetrate.
Q3. How is the specimen held in the low pressure method?
It is held over an open well with a circular opening of 100 cm² area, and the pressure is either increased at a specified rate or kept at a specified value.
