BS ISO 9073-11:2002

This standard BS ISO 9073-11:2002 Textiles. Test methods for nonwovens is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.080.30 Textile fabrics

This part of ISO 9073 describes test methods for measuring the quantity of test liquid (simulated urine) which runs down a nonwoven test piece when a specified mass of test liquid is poured on to the nonwoven test piece superimposed on a standard absorbent media and placed on an inclined plane.

This test method is designed to compare run-off of nonwovens. It is not intended to simulate in-use conditions of finished products.

Three alternative methods are described:

1. Test I — the basic method for testing hydrophilic nonwovens;

2. Test II — the repeated test, with the same test parameters as in a);

3. Test III — the modified method for testing hydrophobic nonwovens specifying another table inclination than in a).
