这种方法可以加速比较油脂（如食品中常见的油脂）渗透纸张（如防油纸、玻璃纸和蔬菜羊皮纸）的相对速度。此外，它还可用于选择和预测这些级别的论文在预期最终用途中的性能。该选择应作为包含感兴趣的油或润滑脂的原型最终产品的初步试验，而不是替代试验。它可能不适用于通过涂层或内部处理获得油脂或耐油性的纸张或纸板等级。

This method gives an accelerated comparison of the relative rates at which oils or greases, such as commonly found in foodstuffs, may be expected to penetrate papers such as greaseproof, glassine, and vegetable parchment. In addition, it may be used to select and predict the performance of these grades of papers for an intended end use. The selection should be used as preliminary to, and not a substitute for, test with prototype end products containing the oils or greases of interest. It may not be applicable to grades of paper or paperboard that are given grease or oil resistance by means of a coating or internal treatment.
