The volume of liquid received by the absorbent product from the vessel is measured continuously, by measuring the volume of liquid removed from the vessel. The liquid column above the absorbent product is kept constant during the measuring process, or is reduced by not more than one millimeter during the measurement process during the measurement process. The measurement process is terminated subsequent to the absorbent product having received a given amount of liquid. An Independent claim is given for apparatus for studying liquid accommodating properties of absorbent products. Preferred Features: The area of the measurement vessel may be made so large so that the reduction in the liquid level in the vessel as result of taking the specific volume of liquid from the vessel is less than one millimeter. The vessel (2) has a bottom valve (5) with an opening (6). Beneath the opening (6) is an absorbent-product carrying plate (7) which may be raised and lowered. The apparatus also has balance scales (8) carried by a stand (9), which also supports the vessel (2). The scales (8) support in turn, a parallelopipedic body (13) through a plate (10) and two rods (11,12). The weight of the body (13) is registered continuously by a register, e.g. a computer.
