Waterproofing Performance Of Outdoor Tents

Tents are one of the most important equipment in the wilderness, but if a tent cannot be waterproof, the consequences are truly unimaginable. We can analyze the waterproof performance of tents based on their waterproof indicators.
The waterproof index of tents is expressed in millimeters. Originally, there was an instrument and equipment used in tent factories to measure the waterproof properties of tent fabrics. A small sample of the tent was clamped onto a circular kit with a diameter of about seven centimeters. The lower part of the kit was a system that could pressurize water, using electric methods to pressurize water, in order to determine how much water pressure was needed to penetrate the tent fabric. As the pressure continued to increase, The first drop of water quickly passed through the tent sample, and this pressure is not the final result. It is only when the third drop of water breaks through the tent fabric sample that the pressure value is the final result. A tent manufacturer stands on the ground to shelter from wind, rain, sunlight, and provide temporary housing. It is made of canvas and can be removed and transferred at any time, along with supporting items. The tent is carried in the form of components and only assembled upon arrival at the site, so various components and tools are required. Understanding the names and usage methods of various components, familiarizing oneself with the structure of the tent, is essential to quickly and conveniently set up the tent. If the pressure value is 1600mm, it indicates that this tent has a waterproof capacity of 1600mm. This 1600mm is equivalent to having a water column pressure of 1.6 meters high to penetrate the tent fabric.
If you know the general definition of waterproof performance, I can tell you that the water resistance of ordinary assault jackets now can reach more than 2000mm. The waterproof capacity of the Dry bag we usually use is 10000 mm, while the waterproof capacity of the tent is 20000 mm. Folding tents are lightweight and durable: easy to carry, easy to use, and have a long service life. High quality fabric, rain proof, sun proof, durable, easy to clean, suitable for all weather. After the initial assembly of the tent, there is no need to disassemble and assemble it, which is convenient and simple.
