James Heal is UK’s leading testing equipment manufacturer for textiles and nonwovens. The 150 year old companycontinues to expand its range, with a focus on making testing simple, fast and intuitive – most notably with the introduction of its Performance Testing collection of instruments, most recently the AirPro and the HydroView systems.
The James Heal AirPro air permeability tester is used to test the resistance of the flow of air through woven, knitted and nonwoven textiles. Its software offers flexibility with standards and comprehensive reporting options, and different test head sizes are available, making it suitable for a range of applications and standards. The HydroView hydrostatic head tester is designed to measure the penetration of water in materials which have an end use that requires water resistance, such as those in the medical, geotextiles and nonwovens sectors. It is also proving essential in the testing of end-use applications for technical textiles, such as in protective gloves, diving dry suits and winter sports apparel, to fishing waders, roofing, tenting, ground sheets and more.
James Heal’s testing instruments are trusted and valued by manufacturers of textiles and nonwovens around the world. The company has made a solid contribution over many decades to the quality and performance properties of today’s textile products.
