BS EN ISO 12625-5:2024 - TC

This standard BS EN ISO 12625-5:2024 - TC Tracked Changes. Tissue paper and tissue products is classified in these ICS categories:

• 85.080.20 Tissue paper
• 85.060 Paper and board

This document specifies a test method for the determination of the wet tensile strength of tissue paper and tissue products after soaking with water, using a tensile-strength-testing apparatus operating with a constant rate of elongation. Currently, two types of tensile-strength-testing apparatus are commercially available, one where the test piece is positioned vertically and, for the other, horizontally. This document applies for both. For vertical tensile-strength-testing apparatus, a device that is held in the lower grip of the tensile-strength-testing apparatus, called a Finch Cup, is used to achieve the wetting. For horizontal tensile-strength-testing apparatus, the soaking device is placed between the two clamps. This document is not applicable to cases where impurities and contraries are determined.
