Textiles - Determination of permeability of fabrics to air (ISO 9237:1995)

Describes a method for measuring the permeability of fabrics to air and is applicable to most types of fabrics, including industrial fabrics for technical purposes, nonwovens and made-up textile articles that are permeable to air.

Textilien - Bestimmung der Luftdurchlässigkeit von textilen Flächengebilden (ISO 9237:1995)

Diese Internationale Norm beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Messung der Luftdurchlässigkeit von textilen flächengebilden, das auf die meisten Arten textiler Flächengebilde, einschließlich Gewebe für technische Zwecke, luftdurchlässige Vliesstoffe und konfektionierte Artikel anwendbar ist.

Textiles - Détermination de la perméabilité à l'air des étoffes (ISO 9237:1995)

La présente Norme internationale prescrit une méthode pour la détermination de la perméabilité à l'air des étoffes et est applicable à la plupart des types d'étoffes, y compris les étoffes industrielles destinées à des usages techniques, aux nontissés et aux articles textiles confectionnés qui sont perméables à l'air.

Foreword
IS0 (the lnternational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 9237 was prepared by Technical Committee
I SO/TC 38, Textiles.
Annexes A and B of this International Standard are for information only.
