Foreword

This standard is a revision of GB/T 1540-1989 “Paper and board - Determination of water absorption - Cobb method”. This standard non-equivalently adopts the international standard ISO 535.1991 “Paper and board - Determination of water absorptiveness - Cobb method”. This standard shall, from the date of implementation, replace GB/T 1540-1989. In this standard, in addition to adding the flat pressure test method, in order to facilitate grasping of specific test operations, the operation procedures of the two different instruments (flip type and flat pressure type) are also described in a detailed manner. This standard was proposed by the China Light Industry Federation. This standard shall be under the jurisdiction of the National Paper Industry Standardization Technical Committee. The drafting organizations of this standard. China Pulp and Paper Research Institute, Qingdao Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. The main drafters of this standard. Xuan Longde, Hao Guolong, Li Lanfen, Wang Tao. This standard was first published in 1964, first revised in 1979, AND second revised in 1989. As for this standard, the National Paper Industry Standardization Technical Committee is responsible for the interpretation. NATIONAL STANDARD OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA Paper and board – Determination of water absorption - Cobb method neq ISO 535.1991 Replacing GB/T 1540-1989

1 Scope

This standard specifies the method of using the Cobb absorption meter to determine the surface water absorption capacity of the paper and board (Cobb value). This standard is applicable to the determination of water absorption of sized paper and board surface. This standard is applicable to the low-sized or porous paper or embossed paper of grammage less than 50 g/m2; it is not applicable to the un-sized paper and board, AND it is not applicable to be used for precision evaluation of the writing properties of paper.
