Textile Bondi Door Rain Tester
Category：Textile Functional Tester
Introduction
The G816A Textile bondi door rain tester is designed to evaluate the water repellency of textiles under simulated rainfall conditions. The instrument measures the amount of water passing through the fabric and provides an objective assessment of fabric water repellency during dynamic conditions, such as exposure to rain while in motion.
Application
The tester is suitable for evaluating water repellency performance of various textiles, including:
Outdoor clothing fabrics
Sportswear textiles
Technical textiles for automotive or protective applications
Waterproof coatings on synthetic fabrics
Upholstery and canvas materials
Standards
The G816A Bondis Spray Tester complies with the following national and international standards:
(1) GB/T 14577-1993 – Test Method for Water Repellency of Textiles (China)
