BS ISO 22958:2021 pdf download – Textiles — Water resistance — Rain tests: exposure to a horizontal water spray This document specifies a test for measuring the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by impact. It can be used to predict the probable rain penetration resistance of textile fabrics. This document is applicable to any textile fabric, whether or not it has been given a water-resistant or water-repellent finish. It is especially suitable for measuring apparel fabrics. Testing at different intensities of water impact gives a complete picture of the penetration resistance of a single fabric or combination of fabrics. The test is particularly suitable when measuring highly water-resistant fabrics with low amounts of water penetration. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

The blotter is then reweighed to determine the amount of water which has leaked through the specimen during the test. 5 Safety precautions Good laboratory practice should be followed. Wear safety glasses in all laboratory areas. 6.2 White textile blotting paper, of approximate thickness 0,7 mm ± 0,1 mm, of approximate surface density (often known in the industry as “weight”) 370 g/m 2 ± 36,0 g/m 2 and with an approximate absorbent capacity of 240 %. 2) 6.3 Water, grade 3 water in accordance with ISO 3696 at (27 ± 1) °C or (20 ± 2) °C. 6.4 Laboratory balance, accurate to 0,1 g. 7 Test specimens A minimum of three specimens measuring approximately 200 mm × 200 mm are cut from the test fabric. Condition the test specimens and blotting paper...
