Tissue Absorption Tester

The Tissue Absorption Tester is an advanced laboratory instrument designed to accurately measure water absorption time and absorption capacity of tissue products. We supply this instrument to laboratories and production environments operating in accordance with the international standard ISO 12625-8.

This tester combines standard compliance, automation and reproducibility in one compact system. It is ideally suited for quality control, product development and comparative product testing within the tissue and nonwoven industries.

This absorption tester enables objective and repeatable evaluation of how quickly and how much water a tissue material absorbs.

Measured parameters include:

• Water absorption time
• Drainage time
• Dry sample weight
• Wet sample weight
• Automatic calculation of absorption capacity (g water / g material)

All parameters are automatically recorded and calculated in full compliance with ISO 12625-8.

The Tissue Absorption Apparatus operates using a free-fall test principle:

• The tissue specimen is placed in a dedicated basket
• The basket drops from a controlled height of 25 ± 5 mm above the water surface
• The sample absorbs water without external mechanical influence
• Excess water is drained after a defined period

This method eliminates errors caused by contact pressure or operator handling and ensures excellent reproducibility.

Application: Textile
