Test Procedures
Sample preparation: Secure the sample on the test platform using the handle, ensuring full coverage of the test area and maximum thickness of 1 mm.
Parameter setup: Select appropriate pressure sensitivity and piston speed according to the sample type.
Testing: Start the instrument; it will automatically measure air permeability and display results. Maintain stable temperature and humidity during testing.
Data reading: Air permeability resistance values are displayed on the digital screen for recording and analysis.
Maintenance Information
Keep sensors, test plate, and sample holder clean to prevent contamination and ensure accuracy.
Periodically check the calibration of the pressure sensor.
Avoid excessive moisture or direct sunlight that could affect the electronics.
Ensure stable power supply and handle the piston mechanism carefully to avoid mechanical wear.
