Pore-Size Distribution in Textiles-A Study of Windproof and Water-Resistant Cotton Fabrics

Year: 1949 Journal:   Textile Research Journal Vol: 19 (11)Pages: 703-710   Publisher: SAGE Publishing

Abstract

A modified method for evaluating the distribution of pore spaces within a textile fabric, based on the principle outlined in the preceding paper in this series [1], is described. Data are reported for 14 tight fabrics, 6 of which had been treated with a water-repellent finish. The porosities of these fabrics are compared with the results of air- and hydrostatic-permeability measurements.
