Hydrostatic Head Tester Hydrostatic Pressure Tester

Hydrostatic Head Tester Hydrostatic Pressure Tester

Manufactured by Testex

Hydrostatic Head Tester / Hydrostatic Pressure Tester, is a widely performed test on a range of fabrics such as coated fabric, canvas, outdoor clothing and geotextiles, to determine to resistance to water penetration under pressure. This is achieved by applying a known pressure of water while the fabric is firmly clamped in the Hydrostatic Head Tester.

The hydrostatic pressure can be varied from 0 to 1000 kPa / 0 to 100m water column making this a versatile Hydrostatic Pressure Tester to cover just about all fabric hydrostatic testing requirements. Our tester covers a wide range of National and International Standards. AML are the exclusive UK agent for Testex and fully support your right from the initial sales enquiry to training, calibration and service.
