Incontinence

Incontinence particle testing standards are published by ISO. This includes the ISO 17190 series for Urine-absorbing aids for incontinence, which covers the Test method for determination of the particle size distribution by sieve fractionation, gravimetric determination of absorption against pressure, and Determination of content of respirable particles.

ISO 17190-3:2020

Urine-absorbing aids for incontinence - Polyacrylate superabsorbent powders - Part 3: Test method for determination of the particle size distribution by sieve fractionation

This document specifies a test method for measuring particle size distributions up to 850 µ of cross-linked polyacrylate superabsorbent powders. It applies only to measurements made where sieve shaking is used for the separation. Tapping equipment is not expected to deliver the same results. This method is applicable to powdered polymeric superabsorbent materials that are free-flowing under the specified test conditions.
