Scope This method describes a procedure for determining the viscosity of 0.5% cellulose solutions, using 0.5M cupriethylenediamine (CED) as a solvent and a capillary viscometer. Measurements may be made on bleached co

8、tton and wood pulps. Conventional kraft pulps with up to 4% lignin, as defined by TAPPI T 222 “Acid-Insoluble Lignin in Wood and Pulp” can also be analyzed. The applicability of this procedure to extended delignification pulps has not been determined. 2. Summary 2.1 This procedure describes the tech

9、niques for dissolving the pulp and measuring of the viscosity of the pulp solution. The procedure gives two alternative techniques for dissolving the pulp sample. This first technique involves mechanical shaking of the sample-solvent mixture in a closed bottle containing glass beads. The second tech

10、nique involves stirring the sample and solvent in an open tube with a copper rod. A survey of users and an interlaboratory test program indicated an equal preference for the two techniques. 2.2 The second technique, which involves stirring the sample and solvent in an open tube, has the potential fo

11、r oxidation of the cupriethylenediamine solution. If this occurs the method will give erroneous results. Caution should be taken to minimize the potential oxidation by continuous flooding of the open end of the dissolving tube with nitrogen. 3. Significance 3.1 The solution viscosity of a pulp gives

12、 an indication of the average degree of polymerization of the cellulose. Such a test therefore gives a relative indication of the degradation (decrease in cellulose molecular weight) resulting from the pulping and/or bleaching process. 3.2 Caution should be exercised in drawing conclusions about pul

13、p strength properties strictly from viscosity results unless previous investigation has identified the relationship. T 230 om-13 Viscosity of pulp (capillary viscometer method) / 2 4.

14、 14 to 21 kPa (2 to 3 psi) pressure. 4.1.2 Constant temperature bath, capable of being maintained at 25.0 0.1C and equipped with clamps to support the viscometers in the thermostating fluid. 4.1.3 Viscometer, capillary type, size chosen according to expected viscosity range in compliance with the ch

15、aracteristics for oil calibrations shown in Table 1. In order to avoid correction for the kinetic energy effect, choose a viscometer with an efflux time of over 100 s, but less than 800 s.

Poor repeatability can result from incomplete dissolution of the pulp, inadequate temperature control, a dirty viscometer, or impurities in the nitrogen

20、 gas. NOTE 4: The viscometer size is selected to give efflux times of over 100 s, but less than 800 s. In practice, efflux times greater than 350 s should be avoided as reproducible results will be difficult to obtain. To adjust the efflux time, change the size of the viscometer accordingly. 8.5 Vis

21、cometer cleaning. Drain the CED solution from the viscometer immediately after the viscosity determination is complete. Rinse the tube well with water to remove all traces of the CED solution. Clean each tube with a sulfuric acid based cleaning solution designed for use with laboratory glassware. So

22、ak especially dirty tubes for 24 hours or more to remove all traces of contaminants. Drain all cleaning solution from the tube and rinse well with deionized or distilled water. Viscometer tubes may be dried in two ways, by using a forced air oven or by rinsing with acetone with air drying. With eith

23、er drying method, traces of moisture or condensation should not be visible in tube after drying. 8.5.1 To dry a viscometer in a forced air oven, place the viscometer in an oven set at 105 2C. Allow the viscometer tube(s) to remain in the air oven just until all traces of moisture are removed. 8.5.2

24、To dry a viscometer with acetone, rinse the tube well with reagent grade acetone, drain, and allow the tube to air dry. NOTE 5: CED solution is highly alkaline and will etch the interior of the viscometer tubes over a period of time. This will change the calibration constant. For this reason, do not

25、 allow the CED solution to remain in the tube after the viscosity determination is complete. Drain all CED solution from the tube and rinse it with water to remove all traces of CED solution immediately after the determination is complete. 9.

Precision 11.1 The values of repeatability and reproducibility provided below have been calculated for test results, each of which is an average of two t

28、est determinations. The values are based on data obtained in an interlaboratory test program with 18 participants using six materials. Table 3 gives a statistical summary of the data. The footnote to Table 3 lists a description of the materials tested. 11.2 Repeatability (within a laboratory) = 4.0%

29、. The range of average repeatability for all materials in the study was between 1.8 to 6.1% (0.109 to 2.63 mPas) with the % repeatability increasing as the grand mean increases. 11.3 Reproducibility (between laboratories) = 19%. The range of average reproducibility for all materials in the study was

30、 between 9.6 to 27.2% (0.58 to 11.0 mPas). 11.4 The repeatability and reproducibility are in accordance with the definitions of these terms in TAPPI T 1200 “Interlaboratory Evaluation of Test Methods to Determine TAPPI Repeatability and Reproducibility.” T 230 om-13 Viscosity of pulp (capillary visc

33、date of issue: April 30, 2013. 13.2 The 1999 revision includes a change in the requirements for check results for the viscosity measurement. Section 8.4.2 was changed from a “check within 0.25” to “a check within 2.0%.” This change permits the use of this method on extended lignification pulps which

34、 have a wider range of times. The results with other chemical pulps are not significantly affected. 13.3 The falling ball viscometer method, as described in Useful Method 247 “Falling Ball Measurement of Cupriethylenediamine Disperse Viscosity of Pulp,” may be applied as a control procedure, althoug

35、h this is a less reliable procedure. Four laboratories used the falling ball viscometer method in the interlaboratory program and the results showed a repeatability of 10% and a reproducibility of 38%. 13.4 Related methods: PAPTAC G.24, “Cupriethylenediamine Viscosity of Pulp,” Pulp and Paper Techni

37、lary Kinematic Viscometer.” 13.5 The 1966 edition of this method included provisions for delignifying unbleached pulps as a means to extend the scope of the method. Chlorite delignification does attack cellulose and when used in conjunction with this procedure may result in lower viscosity measureme

38、nts. If delignification is used, the results should be considered only as approximations. It has been noted that pulps above 35 to 40 kappa number should be delignified with a mild treatment of sodium chlorite or chlorine dioxide to obtain meaningful results. A mild treatment will minimize cellulose

39、 degradation. 13.6 It has been observed that oxygen pulping and oxygen or ozone bleaching of pulps produces viscosity/strength relationships different from traditionally bleached sulfite and kraft pulps. 13.7 Technical changes in this 2008 edition include updating safety precautions and adding a dry

40、ing oven to 4.1.10. The change in the 2013 edition was a modification of 8.4.1 to include an alternative method to fill the viscometer, allowing the viscometers to be filled to the appropriate mark using a precision pipette.

Calibration of viscometers 7 / Viscosity of pulp (capillary viscometer method) T 230 om-13 A.1 The calibration constant, C, for each viscometer is determined by the use of standard

42、viscosity oils of known viscosity and density at 25.0 0.1C. Depending on the viscometer size and viscosity range in Table 1, select the appropriate standard oil from Table 2. A.2 Fill the viscometer by immersing its small diameter leg into the oil and drawing the liquid into the instrument by applyi

43、ng suction to the other end. Draw the liquid level to the second etch mark. Remove the tube from the solution, wipe the outside clean and return the instrument to a vertical position within 1 of vertical. Place the viscometer in the constant temperature bath at 25.0 0.1C and allow at least 5 min for

44、 the vessel to reach the temperature. NOTE 6: The initial temperature of the solution will affect the time needed for the solution to reach the equilibrium temperature in the bath. Use a kinematic thermometer to verify that the time is adequate for the solution to reach the equilibrium temperature.

45、A.3 Draw the solution up into the measuring leg of the viscometer with a suction bulb, then allow the oil to drain back into the reservoir to wet the inner surface of the measuring vessel. Determine the efflux time by drawing the liquid above the upper mark and measuring the time required for the me

46、niscus to pass between the reference lines. Make duplicate measurements; these should check within 0.2 s. Failure to obtain the required repeatability is indicative of a dirty viscometer or inadequate temperature control. A.4 The viscometer constant, C, is calculated from the formula: C = V/td where
