Conducting a tissue paper test is an essential step before making a final purchase or accepting a delivery of tissue paper for various applications such as packaging, hygiene products, or craft materials. The test helps in evaluating the properties and quality of the tissue paper, which is crucial for meeting specific requirements for absorbency. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to conduct a tissue paper test.

Equipment Needed

1. Tissue paper to be tested (at least 10 sheets)
   
2. Tissue paper testing machine (preferably automatic or manual strength tester, though alternative methods can also work)
   
3. Standard tensile tester
   
4. Stopwatch or timer
   
5. Thermometer (for testing the thermal values of hot and cold)
   
6. Pen or pencil
   
7. Measuring tape
   
8. Stopwatch or timer (optional for duplicate testing)
   
   

1. Breaking Point
   
2. Tearing Strength
   
3. Tearing Time
   
4. Rattan Density
   
5. Initial Rate of Tense
   
6. Water Absorbency
   
7. Whitening
   
   

1. 1. Tensile Strength: Take a 10 x 10 cm paper sample and attach it to the testing machine. Set the range from 50 - 150 N force and record the force value.
   

1. 2. Rip Resistance: Take a 10 x 10 cm paper sample and divide it into two equal pieces. Manually slowly tear the sample pieces, documenting the result using a stop watch.
   
   
2. 3. Tearing Time: Tear 10 x 10 cm paper into two pieces in your hands manually. Record the exact number via a manual count.
   
   
3. 4. Material Thickness: Fold rattan sheets under manual pressure and measure the thickness attained until the desired value is obtained.
   
   
4. 5. Initial Rate of Tense: Find the initial rate of tense using a g-force meter on sample sheets. Record the pressure ratio values.
   
   
5. 6. Soaking Time: Immerse 0.5 cm of tissue paper in plain water at ambient for one minute. Document the water absorption on a measuring device.
   
   
6. 7. Discoloration: Simulate a strong bleaching solution by immersing tissue Paper glass manufacturer in Mumbai in a suitable solution for a few hours. Compare the resultant color.
