All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent e

23、ditions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

25、rpendicularly through a test specimen under specified conditions of test area, pressure drop and time 4 Principle The rate of flow of air passing perpendicularly through a given area of fabric is measured at a given pressure difference across the fabric test area over a given time period. 5 Sampling

26、 Select samples either in accordance with the procedure laid down in the material specification for the fabric, or as agreed between the interested parties. In the absence of specification, follow the example of sampling given in Annex B. 6 Atmospheres for conditioning and testing The atmospheres fo

27、r preconditioning, conditioning and testing shall be as specified in ISO139. 7 Apparatus Metrological confirmation of the test apparatus shall be carried out in accordance with ISO10012-1. 7.1 Circular specimen holder, with an orifice allowing the test to be carried out on an area of5cm 2 ,20cm 2 ,5

28、0cm 2or100cm 2 . The tolerance on the test area shall not exceed 0,5%. NOTE 1Adequate support of the test specimen, particularly for large test surfaces, is recommended. 7.2 Means for clamping, to secure the specimen without distortion. NOTE 2Care should be taken to prevent leakage of air around the

29、 edges of the test specimen. Alternatively the leakage may be measured separately and subtracted from the test results. 7.3 Guard ring device, to prevent leakage, for optional use in conjunction with the clamping means(7.2), (seeA.2.1). 7.4 Pressure gauge or manometer, connected to the test head to

30、indicate a pressure drop across the specimen test area of50Pa,100Pa,200Pa or500Pa, with an accuracy of at least2%. 7.5 Means for drawing a steady flow of air at controlled temperature and humidity through the specimen holder and for adjusting the flowrate to produce a pressure drop across the specim

31、en of between50Pa and500Pa. 7.6 Flowmeter, volumetric counter or measuring aperture, indicating the rate of air flow in cubic decimetres per minute (litres per minute) with an accuracy of at least 2%. NOTE 3Flowmeters or volumetric counters measuring the rate of air flow in cubic centimetres per sec

32、ond (or other suitable units) may be used if the required accuracy of at least 2% is maintained. 8 Conditioning of samples and test conditions Prior to test the samples shall be conditioned and the test performed in the standard atmosphere for testing (see clause6). Recommended conditions for the te

33、st are: test surface area:20cm 2 ; pressure drop:100Pa for apparel fabrics; pressure drop:200Pa for industrial fabrics.ENISO9237:1995 4 BSI 09-1999 In cases where these pressure drops cannot be achieved or are not appropriate, an alternative pressure drop of50Pa or500Pa may be used and/or an alterna

34、tive test area of5cm 2 ,50cm 2or100cm 2may be chosen, if agreed between the interested parties. NOTE 4For comparison of results it is recommended to perform the test with the same test area and pressure drop. 9 Test procedure NOTE 5Advice on checking calibration and conducting the test is given in A

35、nnex A. Mount the test specimen in the circular specimen holder (7.1) with sufficient tension to eliminate wrinkles, if any, taking care that the fabric is not distorted in its own plane. Avoid selvedges and areas with creases or folded places. For fabrics for which the air permeability may be diffe

36、rent between the two faces of the fabric, specify in the test report see11 a)2) which face was tested. Clamp specimens coated on one side with the coating towards the lower pressure side to prevent air leakage. Start the suction fan or other means (7.5) to force the air through the test specimen and

37、 adjust the flow of air gradually till a pressure drop, as recommended above, is achieved across the test area of the fabric. Record the air flow (see7.6) after at least1min or until steady conditions are achieved. NOTE 6Some devices, e.g.volumetric counters, may need a volume of air flow of about10

38、dm 3to assure the required accuracy. Repeat the test at different locations on the sample at least10times under the same conditions. 10 Calculation and expression of results 10.1 Calculate the arithmetic mean of the individual readings and the coefficient of variation (to the nearest0,1%), stating t

39、he95% confidence interval. 10.2 Calculate the air permeability, R, expressed in millimetres per second, using the equation where 10.3 For open fabrics and nonwovens, the air permeability R may be expressed in metres per second using the equation where and A are as defined in10.2. 10.4 Express the95%

40、 confidence interval in the units specified in10.2 or10.3, rounding the result R to2% of the value obtained in10.2 or10.3. 11 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) general information: 1) the number and year of publication of this International Standard, i.e.ISO9237

41、:1995, and the date of test; 2) all information necessary for complete identification of the sample tested and, if required, indication of the direction of air flow through the fabric; 3) test surface area used, in square centimetres; 4) pressure drop used, in pascals; 5) number of specimens tested;

42、 6) the conditioning and testing atmosphere used; 7) any deviation from the procedure specified. b) test results: 1) mean air permeability, in millimetres per second or metres per second, as applicable; 2) coefficient of variation, in percent; 3) 95% confidence interval, in millimetres per second or

43、 metres per second, as applicable. is the arithmetic mean flowrate of air, in cubic decimetres per minute (litres per minute); A is the area of fabric under test, in square centimetres; 167 is the conversion factor from cubic decimetres (or litres) per minute per square centimetre to millimetres per

45、n constant use, prior to testing if used infrequently, and after the apparatus has been moved or repaired. The calibration of the apparatus should be checked periodically against a primary reference standard, at intervals of no greater than12months. The calibration of the pressure gauge(7.4) should

46、also be checked periodically. A calibration check plate with test aperture of known air permeability at given pressure drop should be used for checking the calibration. Ensure the reproducibility of the exact position of the check plate in the circular specimen holder(7.1) to avoid any air leakage.

47、Means for checking the calibration recommended for specific types of apparatus should be used in accordance with the specification of the apparatus and the required accuracy of the test. A.2 Conducting the test A.2.1 Edge leakage may be prevented by means of an annular guard ring(7.3). The pressure

48、drop acrosss the guard ring is measured by a separate pressure gauge or manometer(7.4); the air drawn through the guard ring should not pass through the flowmeter(7.6). The pressure drops across the test and the guard ring surfaces are equalized, so that no air can pass edgewise either to or from th

49、e test surfaces. If the measuring device is not equipped with a guard ring, the rate of edge leakage can be determined by covering the sample with a rubber plate of the same size as the sample. Rubber plates1mm to2mm thick, having a hardness of65 IRHD to70 IRHD when tested in accordance with ISO48, have been found to be suitable. A.2.2 Clamps on the fabric surface should be faced with a suitable grade of rubber (see7.2). Gaskets2,5mm thick and having a hardness of65IRHD to70IRHD when tested in accordance with ISO48 have been foun
