Basis Weight
Determines the weight of the structure.

Hydrostatic Pressure
Measures the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water under constantly increasing hydrostatic pressure. Indicates how the material will perform under external pressure of fluids accumulating on fabric.

Water Impact
Measures the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by spray impact. Indicates how the material will perform when fluids fall or splash onto the fabric.

Mechanical Pressure
Measures the resistance of materials used in protective clothing to synthetic blood under the conditions of liquid contact and increasing direct mechanical pressure. Simulates the condition of leaning on the fabric surface.
