Material Air Permeability Measurement

Model No. :

Brand : Gurley

Gurley Densometers are the industry standard for evaluating the porosity and air resistance of flat materials like papers, plastics, and membranes. They measure the exact time needed for a specific air volume (25cc to 400cc) to flow through a standard test area under uniform pressure.

  • Low, standard, and high-pressure configurations
  • Manual and automatic testing units available
  • Compliant with TAPPI, ASTM, and ISO standards

Features
  • Wide Volume Measurement Range: Accommodates flexible material testing by measuring the passage of air volumes spanning from 25cc up to 400cc.
  • Versatile Material Assessment: Evaluates the porous properties of various substrates including papers, wovens, plastics, foils, and specialized membranes.
  • Multi-Parameter Customization: Select models like the S-P-S Tester extend capabilities beyond porosity to measure surface smoothness and material softness.
  • Variable Pressure Control: Offers standard, low-pressure, and high-pressure manual models alongside fully automated systems to match specific sample densities and testing throughput.
  • Global Quality Compliance: Built to strictly conform with rigorous international standards
