Lab requirementsWater supply and drain; hot water, water quality and plumbing capacity depend on order configuration.

Dimension order and approximate values are stated in each row. Packaging data are separate from instrument dimensions and net mass. Approx. rows are preliminary engineering estimates based on comparable equipment and function/capacity; they are not verified manufacturing measurements or standard requirements. Installation and shipment are finalised against the approved drawing and nameplate. Estimate scope: base product / one unit; external computer, bench and auxiliary plant excluded.

Specifications, dimensions, and power requirements are approximate and subject to change without prior notice for continuous design improvements.

Product technical specifications and images may vary according to manufacturing conditions and applicable standards.

Pressure sensor, ramp rate and clamp sealing

Listed methods are application references. Suitability is established by assessing the selected hardware, current method and calibration together.

Test parameters for the reviewed method

Values belong to the stated source edition. Test recipe, fixture and delivered instrument configuration are selected together.

AATCC 127 (earlier edition) · 6-7

  • Method: specimen at least 200 × 200 mm; water 21 ± 2 °C; rise 10 mm/s water head. Kept separate from ISO ramp recipes.

TS 257 EN 20811:1996 / EN 20811:1992 · 4.1, 7-9

  • Method: test area 100 cm²; water 20 ± 2 °C or 27 ± 2 °C; pressure rise 10 ± 0.5 or 60 ± 3 cmH₂O/min. Report pressure at the third distinct penetration and the mean of at least five valid specimens.

Control and recording specification

The following are method-specific software/recording requirements; delivered software modules are defined by the order scope.

  • Method code and edition, specimen ID, operator and selected test parameters are linked to the record.
  • Third penetration mark for ramp testing; target, duration and observed penetration are recorded separately for constant-pressure testing.
  • Raw measurements, units, valid/invalid test flags and the reported result remain traceable.
  • Calculations are checked against known inputs and an independent calculation; sensor channels are checked against calibration values.
