Spray Test Apparatus
The water resistance of fabrics to wetting by water is measured by using
the Spray Test Apparatus according to AATCC Test Method
22, Water Repellency: Spray Test. This test is applicable to any
textile fabric which may or may not have been given a water-resistant or
water-repellent finish. The test is especially suitable for measuring the
water-repellent efficacy of finishes applied to fabric, particularly plain
woven fabric. It is not intended for use in predicting the probable rain
penetration resistance of fabrics since it does not measure penetration of
water through the fabric. The tester includes the test stand, spray test
nozzle assembly, hoop and test chart. Order No.
