Rigid Foam Plastic Water Absorption Tester

Model: UT4155F, ISO 2896

Rigid Foam Plastic Water Absorption Tester is designed and manufactured based on the standards ISO 2896 Rigid cellular plastics - Determination of water absorption. It is a testing device for the water absorption of rigid foam plastics, characterized by easy operation and high accuracy, and can be widely used in production and research for testing the water absorption of rigid foam plastics. 


Standard Reference: ISO 2896, SIS SS 16 95 61, ASTM E2430, BS 3837-1, IS.4671. 

General Introduction

Rigid Foam Plastic Water Absorption Tester is designed and manufactured based on the standards ISO 2896 Rigid cellular plastics - Determination of water absorption. It is a testing device for the water absorption of rigid foam plastics, characterized by easy operation and high accuracy, and can be widely used in production and research for testing the water absorption of rigid foam plastics. 


Standard Reference: ISO 2896, SIS SS 16 95 61, ASTM E2430, BS 3837-1, IS.4671. 


Rigid foam plastic water absorption test system is composed of six parts: rigid foam plastic water absorption test calculation software, a dedicated mesh cage for sample loading, a test sample water tank, a rigid foam plastic mass measuring instrument, a dedicated slicer for samples, and a rigid foam plastic pore diameter tester. 

Key Features

  • Test Principle
  • Slicer Usage Method
  • Standard

The water absorption of the material is determined by measuring the buoyancy of the sample soaked in distilled water for a certain period of time.

1. Adjust the specimen thickness regulator to the 25mm mark, loosen the specimen clamping screw, place a sample measuring 50×50mm into the placement slot, and tighten the specimen clamping screw to secure the sample.
2. Use the slicing knife to cut off the excess sample along the surface of the slicer platform. To ensure the top of the sample is flat, adjust the slice thickness regulator to 0.3mm, and use the slicing knife to trim the sample evenly.
3. Adjust the slice thickness to the desired thickness (turn clockwise to extrude the sample, turn counterclockwise to retract the sample).
