Product Description
DH-WA-01 Cobb Paper Water Absorption Performance Tester Paper Surface Absorption Weight Gauges
Application:
Paper and paper absorbency testers are conventional instruments for the water absorption test of paper and paperboard, also known as paper surface absorption weight gauges.
Principle:
Paper and paperboard surface water absorption (Cobb) value: the amount of water absorbed by the surface of the paper and paperboard per unit area under a certain pressure and temperature within a specified time, its calculated by g/m2. The specific formula is as following: C=(G2-G1) 100. Where: C-Cobb absorption value, G2-sample mass after water absorption, G1-sample mass before water absorption. The paper and board absorbency tester is a conventional instrument for the water absorption test of paper and paperboard, also known as a paper surface absorption weight tester. This instrument uses the Cobb test method in various methods of absorption test, so it is also called the absorbable absorbability tester.
Standards:
This instrument is designed according to the basic parameters and requirements specified in ISO 535 paper and paperboard - water absorption measurement (Bob method), GB/T1540-2002 paper and paperboard water absorption measurement method. This standard is suitable for determining the water absorption of various paper or board surfaces. It does not apply to the accurate evaluation of the writing performance of paper or cardboard.

Q: What standards does this equipment comply with and why is compliance important?
A: The device complies with TAPPI T441 and ISO 535 standards. Compliance ensures that water absorption tests are conducted according to internationally recognized procedures, enabling consistent, reputable results for quality control and regulatory purposes.
Q: When should I use the DH-WA-01 Cobb Tester for my paper samples?
A: Use the tester whenever you need to determine the Cobb value, which indicates the water absorption performance of paper or fiberboard materials. It is essential in product development, routine quality checks, and production validation for paper and packaging industries.
Q: Where is this Cobb Tester best utilized?
A: The tester is best suited for laboratory, manufacturing, and quality assurance environments where precise measurement of paper absorbency is required. Its tabletop design and manual operation make it ideal for institutions and industrial facilities lacking automated testing systems.
Q: What is the process for conducting a Cobb value test with this equipment?
A: Place a single specimen (typically 125 mm diameter) in the test cylinder using the rotary clamping lid. Fill the reservoir with up to 200 ml of water as per standard requirements, initiate the test manually, and measure absorption using the analog scale within the 0-200 GSM range. Results are achieved within approximately 2 minutes.
Q: How does the DH-WA-01 improve the accuracy and reliability of paper absorbency testing?
A: With a measuring range of 0-200 GSM, accuracy of 0.5 GSM, and resolution of 0.1 GSM, the tester ensures reliable and reproducible results. Its corrosion-resistant construction and standard-compatible design minimize errors from environmental factors and handling.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this Cobb Tester for manufacturers and suppliers?
A: Manufacturers and suppliers benefit from sturdy equipment that provides standardized, repeatable water absorption data. This enables effective quality control, compliance with international norms, and informed product selection for packaging or paperboard applications.
