Socks waterproof testing machine

Applicable Standards

The tester complies with global protocols:

ISO: ISO 811 (Textiles — Water Resistance)

AATCC: AATCC 127 (Water Resistance)

GB/T: GB/T 4745 (Footwear — Waterproof Testing)

Main Parameters

Working Principle

The tester uses a pressurized chamber to apply water against a sample mounted on a mannequin foot. Sensors monitor pressure loss or visual leaks, with automatic shutdown upon failure.

Test Principle

Sample Prep: Secure the sock on a footform without creases.

Pressure Setting: Select pressure based on standard (e.g., 20 kPa for ISO 811).

Cycle Execution: Start the pump, and record time to leakage or complete the test duration.

Applications

Used in textile labs and footwear QA, the tester ensures products like hiking socks or water sports gear meet waterproof claims. Compliance with ISO/AATCC standards supports product certification and quality control.
