BALLY Water Penetration Tester Of Leather GT-KC06

Introduction

Leather products, such as shoes, bags, and garments, are often exposed to various environmental conditions, including encounters with water. Testing the water resistance and penetration capabilities of leather helps determine its durability, longevity, and overall quality. By subjecting leather samples to controlled water penetration tests, manufacturers and quality control experts can assess their performance and make informed decisions about their suitability for specific applications.

Application

BALLY Water Penetration Tester is used for determining the resistance of leather, artificial leather, fabric and so on footwear upper material to water penetration on flexing, in order to assess the suitability for the end use. 

Bally Waterproofness Tester Principle

A rectangular test specimen is bent partly round, and secured between, two cylindrical clamps so as to form a trough. The trough is then immersed in water and the clamps oscillate at a constant speed so that the specimen is repeatedly flexed. The time taken for water penetration through the test specimen to occur is recorded. The mass of water absorbed by, and transmitted through, the test specimen can also be measured.
