What is Water Vapor Absorption and Why is it Important?
Water vapor absorption is a test that measures the capacity to absorb moisture, especially in leather materials. This test determines how well leather materials can absorb moisture, increasing the comfort and durability of the product. In the USB Certification laboratory, we perform water vapor absorption testing in accordance with TS EN ISO 21420:2020 and ISO 20344:2021 standards.
What are TS EN ISO 21420:2020 and ISO 20344:2021 Standards?
These standards define internationally recognized methods for measuring the water vapor absorption of leather materials. These standards evaluate material performance to ensure moisture management of protective gloves and other leather products during use. By conducting tests in our laboratory in accordance with these standards, you can be sure that your products meet safety and comfort standards.
Importance of Water Vapor Absorption Tests
Water vapor absorption tests determine how leather materials absorb moisture under harsh conditions and how long they retain it. These tests help to ensure that your products meet the requirements of CE certification processes and also give your products a competitive advantage in the market.
Importance in terms of Environment and Area of Use
Water vapor absorption is vital, especially for gloves and leather materials used in high humidity environments. Determining the water vapor absorption of your products ensures their safe and effective use in a variety of industrial applications.
Water Vapor Absorption Test Process in Our Laboratory
The determination of water vapor absorption in our laboratory is based on the principle that the sample absorbs water vapor for a certain period of time and then the mass difference is calculated. During the test, samples are exposed to water vapor under certain standard conditions and the mass change is measured.
Sample Preparation and Test Process
The testing process starts with the preparation of samples according to certain standards and conditioning them in a laboratory environment. The samples are exposed to water vapor and after a certain period of time they are weighed and the mass difference is calculated. The data obtained is used to determine the water vapor absorption capacity of the sample and the results are reported.
