Footwear Dynamic Waterproof Tester
1. Product Introduction & Applications
The Footwear Dynamic Waterproof Tester is designed to evaluate the dynamic waterproof performance of finished shoes under realistic walking conditions. It measures:
Number of flex cycles until water penetration occurs
Extent of water penetration after a set number of cyclesThe tester simulates natural foot movement through repeated zigzag flexing in a water bath, providing objective data on waterproofing and permeability resistance.
Applications:
Quality control of finished shoes for outdoor, athletic, and safety footwear.
Research and development of waterproof materials and shoe designs.
Compliance testing for GB/T 16641 and SATRA TM77 waterproof standards.
Evaluation of footwear performance under dynamic flexing conditions.
2. Conformity Standards
The tester is designed in accordance with:
GB/T 16641 — Test method for dynamic waterproof performance of finished shoes
SATRA TM77 — Dynamic waterproof testing of finished footwearCompliance ensures reliable, repeatable, and standardized results for waterproof evaluation of shoes.

4. FAQ
Q1: What types of footwear can be tested?
A1: Applicable to a wide range of finished shoes, including athletic, outdoor, and safety footwear.
Q2: How does the tester simulate walking?
A2: The machine applies repeated zigzag flexing of the shoe in a water bath, mimicking the natural movement of the foot during walking.
Q3: Can multiple shoes be tested at the same time?
A3: Yes, two finished shoes can be tested simultaneously.
Q4: How is water penetration measured?
A4: The tester tracks the number of cycles until water enters the shoe and/or measures the area of penetration after a preset number of cycles.
Q5: Are the test parameters adjustable?
A5: Yes, the zigzag angle (5–60°) and speed (5–150 cycles/min) are fully adjustable to suit different shoe types and testing requirements.
