*1. Flow time is the time in seconds required to filter 100 mL of distilled water at 20°C under pressure supplied by a 10 cm water column through a 10 cm2 section of filter paper.
*2. Absorption speed is the distance in cm that water will travel in an upright strip of filter paper in ten (10) minutes at 20°C.
*3. Wet strength is the pressure measured by Mullen Burst Strength Tester after soaking in water.
*4. Conversions between manufacturers are not absolute. Use these conversions as a guideline.
