Abstract

In this paper, linear flow model based on Darcy's law was used in the experiment to measure permeability of sisal textile. Kozeny-carman equation was used to predict the permeability of sisal textile and Kozeny constant was calculated through experimental results. Both experimental and predicted permeability values of sisal textiles were compared. Effects of fibre surface treatments on the permeability of sisal textile were also studied in this paper.
