This part of BS 7959 describes methods of sampling and determining the sorbency of materials used for the control of liquid spillages.

A variety of materials of different composition and format are used in this application and, for the purposes of this standard, the following categories are used.

  • Type I web type sheet, pad or roll.
  • Type II: loose material discrete particles of variable size.
  • Type III: filled products socks, booms, pillows, cushions.
  • Type IV: agglomerates masses of strands for pick-up of viscous liquids.
  • The methods are applicable to sorbent materials of any type.

The standard also includes a test (swell ratio test, Clause 10) that will distinguish between absorbents and adsorbents.
