Abstract
Air permeability of textiles is a component of their thermophysiological comfort. However, the current research methods and devices enable the testing of this parameter only for air flow running perpendicularly to the fabric plane. This methodology is not applicable for all textile products, e.g. home upholstery or car seats. The objective of this study is a description of an unique measuring procedure enabling the determination of air permeability or air resistance of these fabrics in the direction of their plane, based on simple modification of the commercial air permeability tester. The advanced method was used for testing of the in-plane air permeability of selected distant knit.
