Cobb test

The Cobb test is a method to determine the amount of water that is absorbed, typically for paper or board.[1] It expresses the weight of water absorbed per surface unit of the tested material over a specific time.[2] It is often documented in g/m2. Different time units may be used, and it is therefore common to mention the chosen time frame in the note of the test. For example, a note of a Cobb60, corresponds to a test of 60 seconds.
