BALLY Water Penetration Tester GT-KC06 – A Complete Guide


Leather is a widely used material, and its waterproof and breathable properties are important indicators for evaluating its quality.


What is the BALLY Water Penetration Tester

Bally Water Resistance Tester is used to determine the water penetration for various shoe upper materials as leather,synthetic leather,cloth etc.cut the specimen,then place it into the machine,immersing the specimen into water and flexing it to measure Penetration index or the based of or improve the materials ,water-proof processing.leather,leather,cloth etc.

Working Principle
A rectangular test specimen is bent partly round, and secured between, two cylindrical clamps so as to form a trough. The trough is then immersed in water and the clamps oscillate at a constant speed so that the specimen is repeatedly flexed. The time taken for water penetration through the test specimen to occur is recorded. The mass of water absorbed by, and transmitted through, the test specimen can also be measured.

How to Conduct BALLY Water Penetration Test

Prepare (Step 1 - Step 4)

  • Step 1: adjust the movement stroke required for the test (15%, 10%, 7.5%, 5%). The eccentric must be consistent with the percentage of bit holes.


  • Step 2: Turn on the power and enter the test page.


  • Step 3: Use the jog button [Micro M] on the test page to move the distance between the two fixtures to the maximum position (40mm) and align at the red line.


  • Step 4: Install the sample (75x60mm), the side length 60mm is the direction of 15% compression, and the side length 75mm is the clamping direction of the U-shaped fixture.

Setup (Step 5 - Step 11)

  • Step 5: Insert the electrode and pour the conductive copper spring (17g).


  • Step 6: Lift up the sink with a certain amount of water.


  • Step7:Insert the pin to fix the position of the sink.


  • Step8:the water in the sink should reach the water mark level of the fixture. Note: This is the water level mark on the fixture.


  • Step 9: [Zero Ch] and [Zero Total] are used to clear data.


  • Step 10: Select the station that needs to be worked, [ON] means to open this station, [OFF] means to close this station, only the [ON] state this station can work normally, [OFF] means not working.


  • Step 11: Enter the setting interface, you can set the test stop condition [Stop Mode].



Start test and Result (Step 12 - Step 17)


  • Step 12: Press the Start button, the bally waterproofness tester starts testing.


  • Step 13: [SPD] shows the speed, all four stations are displayed in operation.


  • Step14: [PV] is the set number of times, [CV] is the actual number of times. When the set number is reached, the machine will stop.


  • Step15: Within the set number of times, if the sample leaks, the equipment will automatically stop.


  • Step16: When the set number of times is reached, the equipment will stop automatically.


  • Step17: For example, [CH.4] stops counting, which means that the sample is leaking.

Other Water Penetration Test Method

Maeser Water Penetration Tester
Maeser Water Penetration Tester is used to determine the resistance of leather, artical leather, fabric and so on material to water penetration on flexing. The method is mainly applicable to footwear upper outer materials but can be used with any flexible sheet material.
