Takes 108×58 / 20×20 greige fabric and cut at least 10 samples with the sample cutter (38 ml, dia 15 cm). Hold one of the samples vertically above the beaker and relies gently upon the solution. Start a stopwatch at the time of the release and take note of the time when the sample reaches the bottom of the beaker. Wet ability is decided W.R.T with running lots. While comparing a new lot with a running lot we can follow the following procedure: A particular fabric is desired, batched and then scoured, bleached with both the new and running wetting agent lot under the same condition. After the scour/bleach process the processed fabric are checked for their absorbency, size content, and whiteness. If the results are similar than the new lot is as good as the running one.
