What does the MVTR-50 measure for textiles?
It quantifies breathability: Moisture-vapor transmission rate (MVTR) Time-resolved vapor-mass transfer Comparative breathability across fabrics Design inputs for comfort and thermal regulation
EXPERIENCE THE most advanced Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer
M19 Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer (MVTR-50) for technical textile — AI-based, ultra-high-precision testing. Standards: ASTM E96, JIS L 1099.
Model: MVTR-50 · Industry: Technical Textile
Technology principle
The M19 Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer (MVTR-50) measures how readily water vapor passes through a fabric, the core determinant of breathability and thermal comfort in sportswear, medical garments and protective clothing. Vapor-mass transfer is measured over time under controlled humidity to compute MVTR. Referenced to ASTM E96, JIS L 1099 and BS EN ISO 12572, the MVTR-50 gives textile engineers reliable breathability data to design comfortable, high-performance garments with traceable results.
Applications
- Sportswear and activewear
- Waterproof-breathable outerwear
- Medical and surgical garments
- Protective clothing
- Footwear and glove fabrics
- Membrane laminates
Key capabilities
- Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer (MVTR-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 cup testing?
Controlled humidity, automated logging and computed MVTR improve repeatability and traceability over manual weigh-and-record methods.
How does the gravimetric method improve accuracy?
The approach: Measures vapor-mass transfer over time precisely Controls relative humidity across the cell Fits the transmission curve for stable MVTR 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 breathability data feed development and lot acceptance.
How does it support standards compliance?
Support for ASTM E96 / JIS L 1099 / BS EN ISO 12572 plus tamper-proof records keeps breathability data audit-ready for QA.
