What does the HPA-50 measure for textiles?
It quantifies water resistance: Hydrostatic head at first / 3-point leakage Static and dynamic pressure modes Waterproof rating (water column) Comparative performance across fabrics
EXPERIENCE THE most advanced Hydrostatic Pressure Analyzer
M19 Hydrostatic Pressure Analyzer (HPA-50) for technical textile — AI-based, ultra-high-precision testing. Standards: AATCC 127, ISO 811.
Model: HPA-50 · Industry: Technical Textile
Technology principle
The M19 Hydrostatic Pressure Analyzer (HPA-50) evaluates the water resistance of waterproof fabrics, medical textiles and geotextiles by applying increasing static or dynamic hydrostatic head until leakage is detected. The resulting water-column rating is the definitive measure of a fabric’s waterproofness. Referenced to AATCC 127, ISO 811, ASTM D751 and EN 20811, the HPA-50 gives textile manufacturers objective, traceable waterproof-rating data for performance and medical fabrics.
Applications
- Waterproof-breathable outerwear
- Medical and surgical drapes
- Geotextiles and liners
- Tent and awning fabrics
- Coated and laminated fabrics
- Umbrella and rainwear fabrics
Key capabilities
- Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Hydrostatic Pressure Analyzer (HPA-50) pairs a 15" capacitive touchscreen with enhanced pressure- and flow-control hardware, so operators run a full technical textile test sequence with minimal training and markedly shorter cycle times. Available in aluminum or stainless-steel variants, it ships with real-time remote support, USB connectivity and remote-control automation. Domestic manufacturing in India and the USA keeps maintenance cost and downtime low, and a 2-year extended warranty is available.

Frequently asked questions
How does it outperform manual head testing?
Automated incremental pressurisation with objective leak detection removes operator judgement and improves repeatability.
How does controlled pressurisation improve accuracy?
The system: Ramps head at a defined, repeatable rate Detects leakage at multiple points objectively Logs the full pressure curve Auto-calibrates for consistency
What are the advantages of domestic manufacturing?
Local build delivers: Faster service and local support Reduced lead time and spare-parts availability Lower import cost and easy customisation 2-year warranty with on-site support
Can it integrate into textile QA workflows?
Yes — secure records, connectivity and PDF/CSV export let waterproof-rating data feed development and lot acceptance.
How does it support standards compliance?
Alignment to AATCC 127 / ISO 811 / ASTM D751 / EN 20811 plus tamper-proof records keeps waterproof data audit-ready for QA and certification.
