Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12625-5:2005), which has been
technically revised with the following changes:
a) in Clause 7, a more detailed description of the preparation of the test pieces was included;
b) in Clause 8, the procedure for measurement was clarified;
c) in Clause 10, additional information is to be included in the test report;
d) more detailed precision data in Annex A;

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12625-5:2016(E)
Tissue paper and tissue products —
Part 5:
Determination of wet tensile strength
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the wet tensile strength of tissue paper
and tissue products after soaking with water, using a tensile-strength-testing apparatus operating with
a constant rate of elongation.
Currently, two types of tensile-strength-testing apparatus are commercially available, one where
the test piece is positioned vertically and, for the other, horizontally. This document applies for both.
For vertical tensile-strength-testing apparatus, a device which is held in the lower grip of the tensile-
strength-testing apparatus, called a Finch Cup, is used to achieve the wetting. For horizontal tensile-
strength-testing apparatus, the soaking device is placed between the clamps.
[6]
In cases where impurities and contraries have to be determined, ISO 15755 applies for these
detections in tissue paper and tissue products.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12625-1 and the following apply.

3.1
wet tensile strength
maximum tensile force per unit width that a test piece soaked with water will withstand before
breaking in a tensile test
Note 1 to entry: The wet tensile strength is expressed in newtons per metre (N/m).
ISO 12625-5:2016(E)
3.2
wet-tensile-strength retention
ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the tensile strength of the wet test piece to the tensile strength of a
different test piece from the same sample in the dry, conditioned state
Note 1 to entry: According to ISO 187.
4 Principle
A test piece of tissue paper or tissue product of given dimensions, soaked in water for a given period of
time under specified conditions, is stretched (elongated) to break at a constant rate of elongation, using
a tensile-strength-testing apparatus that measures and records the tensile force as a function of the
elongation of the test piece.
The test can be carried out by a vertical or a horizontal tensile-strength-testing apparatus.
In order to wet the test pieces for a vertical tensile-strength-testing apparatus, a device called a Finch
Cup, which is held to the lower clamp, is used. For a horizontal tensile-strength-testing apparatus, a
soaking cup is inserted between the clamps.
From the wet tensile strength and the tensile strength of the same sample in the dry conditioned state,
the wet-tensile-strength retention can be calculated.
Precision data are available in Annex A.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Vertical tensile-strength-testing apparatus
5.1.1 Tensile-strength-testing apparatus
The tensile-strength-testing apparatus shall be in accordance with ISO 1924-2. It is capable of stretching
a test piece of tissue paper or tissue product of given dimensions at a constant rate of elongation of
(50 ± 2) mm/min, and recording the tensile force as a function of elongation on a strip chart recorder or
any equivalent device.
The force-measuring system shall measure loads with an accuracy of ±1 % of the reading or ±0,1 N,
whichever is greater, and shall be calibrated and verified according to the requirements of ISO 7500-1.
5.1.2 Tensile-testing apparatus clamps
The tensile-strength-testing apparatus (5.1.1) shall have an upper clamp with a minimum of 50 mm
width, for holding both ends of the test piece firmly and without slippage. To avoid damaging the test
pieces, the clamp surfaces that touch the pieces should be smooth and have rounded edges, i.e. free
from burrs. The lower clamp shall be designed to grip the Finch Cup soaking device (5.1.3) firmly. The
clamps shall have means for adjusting the clamping force.
During the test, the upper clamping line and the Finch Cup soaking device (5.1.3) rod shall be parallel
to each other. They shall also be perpendicular to the direction of the applied tensile force and to the
length axis of the test piece.
The distance between A and B is the total span length and shall be (100 ± 1) mm. The distance between
A and B divided by two is the test span length and shall be (50 ± 1) mm.

5.1.3 Finch Cup soaking device
A Finch Cup soaking device (see Figure 2) consists of a support system that holds a horizontal cylindrical
rod of (5,0 ± 0,1) mm diameter, and approximately 60 mm length, and a water container.
The water container shall be constructed such that it can be moved vertically and locked in a raised
position. In the locked raised position, the water in the container shall completely surround the
cylindrical rod which is thereby immersed in the liquid to a depth of (20 ± 1) mm, as indicated in
Figure 2.
Projecting downwards, from the bottom of the device, is a rigid metal tongue by means of which the
device can be held in the lower clamp of the tensile-strength-testing apparatus.
