Eleven fabrics selected to provide a representative range of yarns and weaves have been examined microscopically and subjected to a series of tests. The observations were directed towards assessing the potential ability of each fabric to resist penetration by particles, such as skin scales, which might carry micro-organisms. The number, size and shape of pores penetrating through the material were estimated and the penetration of test dusts assessed in several ways. While, generally, the relative merits of the fabrics are similar whatever test or measurement is considered there are a number of significant exceptions which reflect peculiarities of the test system or of a fabric. Comparison with the results of dispersal experiments with volunteers wearing garments made of the fabrics is made in a following paper.
已对选取的11种能代表一系列纱线和织物结构的织物进行了显微镜检查，并进行了一系列测试。观察旨在评估每种织物抵御可能携带微生物的颗粒（如皮屑）穿透的潜在能力。估算了穿透材料的孔隙数量、大小和形状，并通过多种方式评估了测试粉尘的穿透情况。总体而言，无论考虑何种测试或测量方法，织物的相对优点都相似，但也有一些显著的例外情况，这反映了测试系统或织物的特性。后续论文中将把这些结果与志愿者穿着用这些织物制成的服装进行扩散实验的结果进行比较。
