Abstract

A system that calibrates instruments for measuring the light or air permeability of a material, and includes a calibration target which can be used for calibration of either light-based or air-based instruments. The calibration target simulates the material whose permeability is being measured, and includes a plate having multiple, angled or parallel rows of perforations provided therethrough. The permeability measuring instrument measures the permeability of the calibration target, and compares the measured permeability with a predetermined permeability of the calibration target and calibrates the permeability measuring instrument based upon the comparison.
