New TAPPI test methods have been proposed."Test Method for Intrinsic Absorptive Rate and Capacity of Bibulous bibulous (bib´yōōlus), adj pertaining to absorption; a material's ability to absorb fluids. bibulous pad (saliva absorber), n Paper Products (Using Demand Wettability)." This test method provides a standardize approach to the evaluation of the absorptive rate and capacity of bibulous paper It determines the liquid sorption sorption /sorp·tion/ (sorp´shun) the process or state of being sorbed; absorption or adsorption. sorp·tion n. Adsorption or absorption. (rate and capacity) of bibulous paper, paper board, and paper products using volumetric principles. The procedure in this test method is applicable to the testing of absorbent materials such as toweling and tissue products. "Water absorptiveness of sized (non-bibulous) paper and paperboard (Cobb test)" This method describes a procedure for determining the quantity of water absorbed by non-bibulous corrugated fiberboard in a specified time under standardized conditions. The already existing Cobb test method, T 441, is being rewritten apply only to paper and paperboard. The new method will pertain only to corrugated cor·ru·gate v. cor·ru·gat·ed, cor·ru·gat·ing, cor·ru·gates v.tr. To shape into folds or parallel and alternating ridges and grooves. v.intr. . Any TAPPI TAPPI Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry members who are interested in this method may join the Standard -Specific Interest Group (SSIG SSIG Scuola Superiore di Informatica di Gestione (Switzerland) SSIG Social Science Information Gateway (UK) SSIG Security Special Interest Group SSIG Spread Spectrum Indoor Geolocation ) to receive ballots when this method is ready for vote. If you would like to join the SSIG for this project, please notif Charles Bohanan at TAPPI (cbohanan@tappi.org) or fax at 770-446-6947) before September 1, 2003. |
