《GB/T 1540-2002纸和纸板吸水性的测定（可勃法）》由TC141（全国造纸工业标准化技术委员会）归口，主管部门为中国轻工业联合会。
本标准规定了用可勃（cobb）吸水性测定仪测定纸和纸板表面吸水能力（可勃值）的方法。本标准适用于测定施胶纸和纸板表面的吸水性。本标准不适用于定量低于50g/m

1 Scope

This standard specifies the method for determining the water absorption capacity (cobb value) of paper and board with a cobb water absorption determinator.

This standard is applicable to the determination of water absorption on the surface of sized paper and board.

This standard is not applicable to body paper and embossed paper with a quantify of less than 50 g/m2, lower sizing or more pinholes, unsized paper and board and accurate evaluation of writing performance of paper and board.

3 Definition

For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply.

3.1
cobb value
under certain conditions, the mass of water absorbed by the surface of paper and board per unit area within the specified time, which is expressed in g/m2

3.2
absorption time
the time from the initial contact of water with the specimen to the end of absorption. This time can be selected according to the different water absorption capacity of paper and board, which shall meet those specified in Table 1 in Sub-clause 7.2.1.3, and if necessary, can be shortened or extended as appropriate.
