Volume of penetrated water Explanation: you don´t have to forget that Menge = quantity/volume. Handbook of technical textiles: Bundesmann Test (ISO 9865) "If the measuring cylinder becomes full it overflows into a beaker so that the total volume of penetrated water can be measured. The apparatus has been adopted as a British Standard in which three results can be detemined: 1- percentage absorption on a mass basis 2- the total volume of water that penetrates the fabric 3-the time taken for the first 10 cm3 to penetrate -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 Tag1 Stunde (2011-05-20 12:03:07 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanx :) |
