Waterproof socks testing machine

The Waterproof Socks Testing Machine is designed to evaluate the water resistance and waterproof performance of socks, shoes, and shoe linings made of rubber or water-permeable fabrics. The device provides accurate and reproducible results to ensure compliance with product quality standards.

Application

This instrument is widely used in quality control, research, and product development, including:

(1) Testing waterproof socks and stockings for outdoor and sports applications.

(2) Evaluating rubber shoes and shoe linings for water resistance.

(3) Assessing moisture-proof shoe covers made of permeable fabrics.

(4) Research and development of waterproof textiles and shoe materials.

(5) Ensuring consistency of manufactured waterproof footwear before market release.

Standards

The device is designed to comply with:

(1) HG/T 3664: Standard for Shoes Water Penetration Test (China)

(2) ASTM F1670/F1671: Standard Test Methods for Resistance of Materials to Synthetic Blood Penetration (optional for extended applications)

(3) ISO 20344: Personal Protective Footwear – Test Methods (for extended footwear testing)

Features

(1) Tests waterproof performance of socks, shoes, and shoe linings effectively.

(2) Double test positions improve testing efficiency.

(3) Fixtures made from aluminum and stainless steel prevent corrosion and ensure durability.

(4) DC 24V safe voltage operation for enhanced user safety.

(5) Precise pressure regulation for consistent and accurate testing.

(6) Integrated timing system ensures repeatable test cycles.

Parameters

Accessories

(1) Main test unit – 1 set

(2) Double-position fixtures – 1 set

(3) Instruction manual – 1 set

(4) Power cable – 1 piece

Test Procedures

(1) Mount the socks, shoes, or shoe lining samples securely on the test fixtures.

(2) Set the inflation pressure to the required test value (up to 2 kg).

(3) Initiate the test cycle. Water will be applied to the sample to evaluate waterproof performance.

(4) Monitor the test timing and pressure to ensure consistency.

(5) Record the result to determine whether the sample meets waterproof standards.

Maintenance Information

(1) Regularly clean the fixtures and table surface to avoid water scale buildup.

(2) Inspect the inflation system and pressure gauge for accuracy.

(3) Check motors and electrical connections for wear or damage.

(4) Use only clean water to prevent corrosion of internal components.

(5) Follow safety protocols when operating electrical and pneumatic systems.
