In this work the authors present a method for characterizing fibrous materials from absorption measurements in the Kundt tube. Specific Flow Resistance may be calculated, using techniques based on the Miki's model. Using this model and taking measurements of absorption as a starting point, the method presented here enables one to achieve a complete characterisation of a fibrous material, with the added advantage that no special equipment is needed.
