Automatic Water Absorption Tester For Tissue – WAT Model

Automatic Water Absorption Tester – Test Description

The Automatic Water Absorption Tester is a robust and reliable instrument designed specifically for evaluating the water absorption characteristics of tissue paper. Its intuitive touchscreen interface ensures simple and efficient operation, making it ideal for routine testing in production or laboratory environments.

How It Works:

1. Setup:
   The 3-litre water container is filled with distilled water. Using the touchscreen menu, users can set:

   • Immersion time

   • Drain time (in an inclined position)

2. Test Process:
   A sample, cut to the required standard dimensions, is placed in the test basket.
   Once the “Test” button is pressed:

   • The instrument automatically records the dry weight of the sample.

   • The basket is then immersed in water for the pre-set time (typically 30 seconds).

   • After immersion, the basket automatically raises and tilts to a 30° angle, allowing the sample to drain for a set duration (typically 60 seconds).

3. Results:
   The system ensures consistent, repeatable results and supports quality control processes for tissue paper products.

Included with the System:

• A 100g verification weight is supplied as standard for equipment calibration and performance checks.

Benefits

• Compact and robust design.
• Measuring range: 0 -200 g.
• Standardised absorption basket (3 g ± 0.1 mg).
• High repeatability and automatic statistical calculations (max, min, mean, standard deviation, etc).
• Immersion and drainage cycles controlled by preset parameters.
• Immersion time displayed in seconds.
• Water absorption determination in grams of water per gram of tissue.
• Easy to change or refill the water in the 3-litre container.
