This is an equipment to determine the water absorption property of paper, paper board and corrugated fibreboard.
Example:
A new currency note has a very low COBB Value. i.e. Even if you dip it in water, it will absorb very less water.
A newsprint paper on the other hand has a very high COBB Value. i.e. it will absorb water very quickly.
