Textiles - Test methods for nonwovens - Part 6: Absorption (ISO 9073-6:2000)

This part of ISO 9073 describes methods for the evaluation of some aspects of the behaviour of nonwoven fabrics
in the presence of liquids. In particular:
_ the liquid absorbency time;
_ the liquid absorptive capacity;
_ the liquid wicking rate (capillarity).
It should be noted that these different aspects of absorbency may relate to various end uses of the tested products.
The tests are not applicable to any fabric containing super absorbent materials.

Textilien - Prüfverfahren für Vliesstoffe - Teil 6: Absorption (ISO 9073-6:2000)

Dieser Teil der ISO 9073 beschreibt Verfahren zur Bewertung einiger Aspekte des Verhaltens von Vliesstoffen bei Anwesenheit von Flüssigkeiten. Im Einzelnen sind dies:
3 die Dauer des Absorptionsvermögens von Flüssigkeiten;
3 das Absorptionsvermögen von Flüssigkeiten;
3 die Dochtwirkungsgeschwindigkeit von Flüssigkeiten (Kapillarwirkung).
Es sollte zur Kenntnis genommen werden, dass sich diese unterschiedlichen Aspekte des Absorptionsvermögens auf die verschiedensten Endanwendungen der geprüften Produkte beziehen können.
Die Prüfungen gelten nicht für Flächengebilde, die sehr stark absorbierende Materialien enthalten.

Textiles - Méthodes d'essai pour nontissés - Partie 6: Absorption (ISO 9073-6:2000)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie des méthodes permettant d'évaluer certains aspects du comportement
des nontissés en présence de liquides, et notamment:
_ le temps d'absorption du liquide;
_ le capacité d'absorption de liquide;
_ la vitesse d'imprégnation en liquide (capillarité).
Il convient de noter que ces différents aspects de l'absorption peuvent se rapporter à différents usages finaux des
produits testés.
Les essais ne s'appliquent pas aux étoffes renfermant des matériaux superabsorbants.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 9073 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 9073-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.
ISO 9073 consists of the following parts, under the general title Textiles — Test methods for nonwovens:
� Part 1: Determination of mass per unit area
� Part 2: Determination of thickness
� Part 3: Determination of tensile strength and elongation
� Part 4: Determination of tear resistance
� Part 6: Absorption
� Part 7: Determination of bending length
� Part 8: Determination of liquid strike-through time (simulated urine)
� Part 9: Determination of drape coefficient
� Part 10: Linting (dry state)
� Part 11: Run-off tests
� Part 12: Demand absorbency
