Scope

This part of BS 7959 describes methods of sampling and determining the sorbency of materials used for the control of liquid spillages. A variety of materials of different composition and format are used in this application and, for the purposes of this standard, the following categories are used. — Type Ⅰ web type sheet, pad or roll. — Type Ⅱ: loose material discrete particles of variable size. — Type Ⅲ: filled products socks, booms, pillows, cushions. — Type Ⅳ: agglomerates masses of strands for pick-up of viscous liquids. The methods are applicable to sorbent materials of any type. The standard also includes a test (swell ratio test. Clause 10) that will distinguish between absorbents and adsorbents.
