PERMETEST
“A new fast response measuring instrument (Skin
Model) for the non-destructive determination of
water-vapour and thermal resistance or
permeability of textile fabrics, nonwovens, foils and
paper sheets.”

➢ Slightly curved porous surface is moistened


and exposed in a wind channel to parallel
air flow of adjustable velocity.

➢ The tested sample is located on the wetted


area of diameter 80 mm.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE INSTRUMENT

Very short time constant:


• Given by the application of a special heat flow sensor,
whose thermal inertia is similar to that of human skin,
therefore the full response while measuring the water
vapour permeability (resistance) of synthetic fabrics is
achieved within 2- 3 minutes.
• For dry thermal resistance the measurement is completed
even within 1 minute (for the simulated human skin
temperature 35 ⁰C).

Small size of the measured sample:


• Less than 12x12 cm, measured area 80 mm dia.
Prepared by: Khurram Shehzad
MAIN FEATURES OF THE INSTRUMENT

Ease of operation and evaluation of the results, which


allows to be operated not only in laboratory, but also in the
factory conditions.

High sensitivity:
Given by a new concept of measurement, which enables to
distinguish;
• Even very small changes of water amount absorbed in the
fabric during unsteady state of diffusion and to record e.g.
the heat of absorption and the effects of the fabrics
composition and structure, resulting in very good
measurement repeatability, with CV often under 3%
Prepared by: Khurram Shehzad
TEST STANDARD METHOD

The instrument provides all kinds of measurements


very similar to the ISO Standard 11092, & the
results are evaluated by the identical procedure as
required in the ISO 11092.

MEASURED PARAMETERS
Relative water vapour permeability of the textile
sample Pwv:

It can be determined from the following relation;

➢Here, Uo means the instrument reading without a sample


(heat loses of the free wet surface), and Us presents the
heat loses of the wet measuring head (skin model) with a
sample.

MEASURED PARAMETERS
Water vapour resistance Ret [m2Pa/W]:

When expressed in terms of the according to the ISO


11092 Standard (Physiological effects - Measurement of the
thermal and water-vapour resistance), then the following
relationship is applied;

➢The relative humidity φ should be kept between 45-60 %.


The constant C will be determined by the calibration
procedure

MEASURED PARAMETERS
Thermal resistance Rt of dry textile samples:
The whole procedure is similar to the above described
previously, but the measuring head is kept dry, and the
measuring head is maintained at the temperature
(practically 32-35 ⁰C), for at least 5 minutes. The time of
measurement is very short in this case, it takes less than 1
minute for 1 sample.
Thermal edge losses corrections for textile fabric with
thickness over 3-5 mm are recommended. Calculation of
thermal resistance of the textile sample Rt [m2K/W] then
follows from the equation;
