It is expressed as the percentage -- of the length in the diameter direction of the cigarette to the original diameter -- after a certain area of the probe and a certain pressure are applied to the cigarette for a certain period of time.

A, B, C, according to the severity of quality defects; - CHANGE the water content to moisture content; ADJUST the tolerance range of draw resistance, circumference, hardness, quality, as well as the index requirements of dust content and moisture content; - SPECIFY different unit deduction values for the three different quality defects of categories A, B, C. CANCEL the limit on the highest score of each single item. SPECIFY that when the quality score of cigarette packaging and making is negative, it is counted as zero; - ADD the requirements for "storage and transportation".
