ISO 12625-5 Wet Tensile Strength (Tissue Paper & Tissue Products)

← Back to all standards

ISO 12625-5 is the test method for the wet tensile strength of tissue paper and tissue products. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 12625-5 Covers

It measures the residual tensile strength of tissue after wetting, a key property for tissue that must hold together when damp.

How the Test Is Run

A tissue strip is wetted by the specified method, then gripped gently and pulled at a controlled rate, and the wet tensile strength is recorded.

Why It Matters

Wet tensile strength defines tissue performance when wet; sensitive force measurement and gentle handling of the weak wet specimen are essential.
