FAQs of Cobb Tester:
Q: How is the Cobb Tester used to evaluate water absorbency in paper and board?
A: The Cobb Tester measures water absorbency by exposing a standard-sized paper or board specimen (112.8 mm diameter, 100 cm area) to 100 ml of test liquid for a specified duration, typically 60 to 300 seconds. After the set time, the absorbed water is measured to determine the materials absorbency in gsm.
Q: What materials are compatible with this Cobb Tester model?
A: This tester is ideal for paper, board, and corrugated fibreboard, offering accurate results for materials within a measuring range of 0 200 gsm, as per industry testing standards.
Q: When should humidity and temperature be controlled during testing?
A: Maintaining standard environmental conditions23C 1C and 65% relative humidityis recommended for precise testing, in accordance with ISO and TAPPI guidelines. This ensures consistency and accuracy in absorbency results.
Q: Where is the Cobb Tester typically installed and used?
A: The tester is designed for bench-top mounting in laboratory environments, such as quality control departments in manufacturing facilities or dedicated testing laboratories.
Q: What is the procedure for conducting a test with this device?
A: Place the specimen on the rubber pad inside the stainless steel cylinder, lock the lever to seal, pour 100 ml of water onto the specimen, allow it to absorb for the chosen duration, drain the excess liquid, then measure and record the weight gain using the provided graduated cylinder and manual scale.
Q: How does the locking lever mechanism improve testing?
A: The locking lever handle ensures secure sealing of the specimen within the test cylinder. This prevents leakage or shifting during the test, contributing to more reliable and reproducible results.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this Cobb Tester in laboratory testing?
A: This device offers accurate, reproducible water absorbency measurements, robustness through stainless steel construction, user safety features, compliance with international standards, and an easy manual operation, making it invaluable for quality assurance in the pulp and paper industry.
