Water absorption inspection device 61-76 ACT

The ACT monitors water uptake continuously across a full 100 cm² area of sized paper or board as a function of time. Apart from the total amount of absorbed water over 60 seconds, this technology reveals the different dynamic components of water absorption. Once the operator has inserted the test specimen, the test is done automatically by the instrument as no weighing or blotting of the specimen is required. This way the regular operator time of three minutes for a 60 second Cobb test is reduced to only a few seconds for loading of the specimen. This innovative principle offers a completely new opportunity to characterize and understand the phenomena of dynamic water absorption. Features Continuous monitoring of the water uptake in real-time reveals the dynamic absorption as it happens Suitable for sized paper and board Tests a full 100 cm² large area Fully automatic operation reduces operator time from several minutes to a few seconds No operator training required: no weighing of sample, no blotting paper used, no heavy Couching Roll
