About This Product
Water proofness tests check how well leather for shoe uppers keeps water out. In this tester, specimens are held in grips, half of which move along the common axis, inside a water container. When water gets through a specimen, an electrical contact is made and a lamp signals failure. The test can continue to find how much water passes through over set time intervals. It is used in leather and footwear testing labs.
