Efficiently determine fabric water vapour permeability in under 50 minutes.
The water vapour permeability determination set is used in moisture analyzers of max capacity greater than 50g.
Water vapour
permeability is a feature that determines the quality and practicality of application of a given fabric. Clothes or footwear made of materials of inadequate permeability may be unhealthy and uncomfortable. In order to determine water vapour permeability, RADWAG moisture analyzer has to be equipped with a water vapour permeability determination set.
The developed method of testing water vapour permeability consists in placing required amount of water in a vessel made of aluminium alloy, inside which a fabric sample, cut using a blanking die, is clamped. Prior to the test, the sample should be left in a room with stable ambient conditions for 24 hours. It is recommended to place the vessel containing water and sample in the moisture analyzer and start the drying process at 40°C. The advantage of this method is a very short drying time. It takes up to 50 minutes to obtain the result. In contrast, measurement carried out using standard method takes up to 72 hours.
Measurement results are presented in mg H2O / 1000 mm2 / 24h or as the percentage amount of water vapour passed through the material to the amount of water vapour passed without the tested fabric.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
