The following experiment was compiled by a student in August 1999 to test which paper towels are the most absorbent and the best value for money.
I measured the amount of water absorbed by one segment of seven brands of paper towels.
 
Method:
1. I took one segment of each paper towel sample
2. I measured 100mls of water which weighed 100gms for testing each sample
3. I placed the samples in the water for 2 minutes and then drained.
4. I measured and weighed the water not absorbed by each sample and by deducting it from 100ml/gm I worked out how much each segment absorbed.
 
Conclusion:
1. Because of different paper sizes and close results, using one segment isn't accurate. For the next test we will weigh larger paper samples.
2. The close measurements show that the scales and millilitre measure with 25 gram / 25 millilitre steps is too much. (Need very good scales 1g).
