Surface Water Absorption Tester - TNG1057

The TNG1057 Surface Water Absorption Tester is designed to evaluate the surface water absorption properties of terry fabrics. The instrument operates by placing specimens at a 60° angle on its base, allowing water to flow over the surface. After the water has flowed, the amount retained in each specimen is measured. Six specimens are tested, with three placed on the face and three on the back of the fabric. The results from these tests are averaged to determine the surface water absorption capacity. The tester complies with ASTM D4772-2014(2019) and GB/T 22799-2019 Method B. The device features a pour spout with a diameter of 30+/-2mm (1.18 +/- 0.08 in.), a distance between the spout and specimen of 6 +/- 4 mm (0.24 +/- 0.16 in.), and a time of water flow of 50ml within 8s. It is suitable for testing materials such as terry fabrics used in products like towels, bathrobes, and other absorbent textiles.

Surface Water Absorption Tester, to determine the ability of a terry fabric to rapidly absorb and retain liquid water from surfaces such as human skin, dishes, and furniture.

Specimens are placed at an angle on the base of the apparatus. After water flows down the surface of each specimen, the amount of water retained in each specimen is measured. Six specimens are tested, three on the face of the fabric and three on the back of the fabric. The six observations are averaged to determine the surface water absorption of the fabric.

• Pour Spout: 30+/-2mm (1.18 +/- 0.08 in.)
• Angle of holder: 60°
• Time of water flow: 50ml within 8s
• Distance between Spout and Specimen: 6 +/- 4 mm (0.24 +/- 0.16 in.)
• ASTM D4772-2014(2019)
• GB/T 22799-2019 Method B

Application Scope of the Surface Water Absorption Tester This test method may be used to test the surface water absorption of terry fabrics for bath towels, bath sheets, hand towels, kitchen towels, dishcloths, washcloths, beachwear, bathrobes, and the like. This test method is not applicable to non-terry fabrics such as huck towels, waffle-weave towels, crash towels, flour-sack towels, and nonwoven wipes. The lightweight/open structure of these fabrics may allow a large amount of water to completely pass through the specimen; thus the test result may not be a valid measure of a non-terry fabric's ability to absorb water. This test method is not applicable to decorative terry fabrics that will not be used to absorb water from surfaces. Sample Preparation Prepare specimens as standard instructed, and mark the length direction. Better to cut specimens in a circle with diameter 190mm ~ 210m
