15、k.D3376 18947.1.2 Quickly put the torn specimen into the disintegrator vessel and start the disintegration/sampling sequence. Disintegratethe specimen for one period, stop the disintegrator, remove 50 mL of the pulp slurry, and put it into beaker No. 1 (50 mL). Thesampling operation shall be perform

16、ed in 1 min or less to minimize any soaking effects that might arise during longer time periods.NOTE 8On occasion, lumps of pulp will tend to remain stationary, caught in the flutings on the disintegrator vessel wall. It is necessary to ensurethat any such lumps are mixed back into the bulk of the p

17、ulp slurry to ensure uniform disintegration response.47.1.3 Repeat this sequence eleven more times, yielding a total of twelve slurry specimens.47.2 Make up the first slurry specimen to 1.5 Lwith tap water (25 6 5C), and pour 500 mLinto the transparent cylinder. Coverthe cylinder with one hand, and

18、turn end-over-end twice to mix the stock. Inspect the contents of the cylinder by viewing the slurryagainst a light source. Note the appearance of the slurry relative to these stages of disintegration:(a) gross lumps of pulp(b) few lumps/many fiber bundles(c) few fiber bundles(d) no fiber bundles47.

19、2.1 Make a handsheet from 500 mLof the diluted stock, couch it, and dry it on the hot plate (between the blotters), and markthe handsheet with the slurry specimen number. It is not necessary to press, or air-dry the handsheet, as it will only be used forvisual inspection.47.2.2 Repeat the stock dilu

20、tion, inspection, and sheet marking for the eleven remaining slurry specimens.47.2.3 Subject the remaining stock to a further disintegration of 20 min; then sample and prepare a handsheet in accordance with47.2 and 47.2.1. This further 20-min disintegration will yield stock and handsheet specimens t

21、hat are considered to be fullydisintegrated reference specimens.47.3 Place the No. 1 sheet (first slurry sample) on the light box, and inspect it. Note the appearance of the sheet as in 47.2.Compare the sheet with the reference sheet made in accordance with 47.2.3, which is considered to be fully di

22、sintegrated.47.3.1 Compare the remaining 11 sheets, noting at which point complete disintegration is obtained, and at which no change isobserved in later specimen handsheets.47.4 Repeat 47.1.1 47.3.1, except 47.2.3, using disintegration period such that complete disintegration will be achieved in no

23、tless than four but not more than ten disintegration periods.47.4.1 Test two specimen lots to conform to the above requirement.48. Calculation48.1 Calculate the resistance to disintegration as follows:Resistance to disintegration expressed in revolutions per gram (3)RPG!5n t S/6020.75 n 21!#where:n

24、= number of periods to complete disintegration,t = disintegration period in minutes, andS = speed of disintegrator (usually 3000 rpm)S = speed of disintegrator (usually 3000 rpm).The 60 0.75 (n 1) term corrects for the withdrawal of the specimen masses from the slurry.NOTE 9As the slurry specimens a

25、re withdrawn, the mass of pulp remaining is progressively reduced. The “first” slurry specimen experiences a RPGof:1 t 33000/60 (4)The second experiences the same as the first plus:1t 33000/6021.5! (5)Averaging such a sum for the nth slurry specimen, it will have undergone an RPG of:n t 33000/6021/2
