Gives method primarily intended for fabrics containing hydrophilic fibres.

This British Standard describes a method of test for wettability of textile fabrics and is primarily intended for fabrics containing hydrophilic fibres. Fabrics giving times exceeding 200 seconds are considered to be unwettable (see clause 2) and are therefore outside the scope of this standard.
