16、rd IS0 187: 1990 was approved by CEN as a European Standard without any modification. Introduction The physical properties of paper are affected materially by its moisture content which, in turn, is dependent on the humidity of the surrounding atmosphere. In order that tests may be made on paper in

17、a defined physical state, it is brought into equilibrium with an atmosphere of standardized temperature and relative humidity, and tested in that at- mosphere. The rnoisture content of a given paper in equilibrium with a given at- mosphere varies according to whether the equilibrium is reached by so

18、rption or by desorption of moisture. This hysteresis influences those physical properties that change with moisture content. Unless otherwise specified the equilibrium condition should be attained by the sorptive process. For a number of years three standard test atmospheres have been in common use:

19、 20 “CY65 % r.h : 23 “U50 Oh r.h. and 27 “C/65 04, r.h At the time of publication of this revision of IS0 187: 1977 the atmos- phere 23 “U50 90 r.h. is used almost exclusively in most countries and after 1 January 1993 is to be considered the IS0 standard test atmos- phere for testing of pulp. paper

20、 and board. However, the 23 “U50 Oh r.h. atmosphere is difficult to attain in some of the countries located in tropical zones, and in such countries the 27 “U65 % r.h. atmosphere is permitted. Until 1 January 1993 the 20 “Cl65 o/o r.h. atmosphere is ac- ceptable as a standard test atmosphere. 1 Scop

21、e This International Standard specifies the standard atmosphere for conditioning, and for testing pulp, paper and board, and also the procedures for measuring the temperature and relative humidity. For the condilioning of laboratory prepared handsheels in accordance with IS0 5269-1, the standard atm

22、osphere is that defined in this Inter- national Standard but the procedure is different”.

26、 apply. 3.1 relative humidity (r.h.): lhe ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the actual water vapour content of the air to the water vapour content of air saturated with water vapour at the same temperature and pressure. 3.2 conditioning: A process of establishing a re- producible moisture content

27、 equilibrium between the sample and an atmosphere of specified temper- ature and relative humidity. This equilibrium is con- sidered to be attained when the results of two consecutive weighings of the sample, carried out at an interval of time of not less than 1 h, do not differ by more than a speci

28、fied amount. NOTE 1 The interval between weighings is dependent on the grammage of the sample and the degree of agreement expected between successive weighings should take account of the known cycling characteristics of the particular test room. The establishment of moisture content equilibrium is a

29、ccepted as ensuring that the paper is in a stable physical state, but in special circumstances, conditioning may have to be prolonged until the desired physical equilibrium is attained. Such circumstances are not within the scope of this International Standard. 4 Principle Exposure of the sample to

30、a specific conditioning atmosphere in such a manner that a reproducible state of moisture content equilibrium is reached be- tween the sample and this atmosphere. 1) followed by conditioning by sorption of moisture. IS0 5269-1 requires pulp handsheets to be conditioned by desorption of moisture, whi

31、lst IS0 5269-2 requires drying Page 4 EN 20187:1993 5 Standard atmosphere The standard atmosphere for testing pulp, paper and paperboard shall be 23 “C $I 1 “C and (50 I 2) % r.h. In tropical countries an atmosphere of 27 “C 1 “C and (65 2) % r.h. may be used. NOTE 2 The temperature and relative hum

32、idity condi- tions are those specified in lSO554. The tolerances quoted are the reduced or close tolerances specified in IS0 554. A test atmosphere shall be deemed to he within the requirements of this International Standard if all the test results determined as described in annex A (see, in particu

33、lar, A.4.2) are within the prescribed limits. Even short-term excursions of temperature or humidity beyond these limits, to the extent that the equilibrium moistiii-e content of the sample will be affected, are not permitted. Whenevei- the test atmosphere is known to have been outside the limits and

34、 if there is any charice that lhe moisture content of samples has been changed by such excursions, all samples must be recondilioned (repeating clause 6) before any further testing is done. NOTES 3 If it is known or suspected that the relative humidity has exceeded the upper limit to the extent that

35、 the moisture content may have increased, all samples except those prepared in accordance with IS0 5269-1, must be subjected to the preliminary low humidity treatment de- scribed in 6.1 before reconditioning. If it is known or suspected that the relative humidity has fallen below the limit to the ex

36、tent that the moisture coti- tent may have decreased, samples prepared in accord- ance with IS0 5269-1 should be discarded and new samples prepared. If this is not possible and the samples are tested, the circumstance must be reported 4 A recording hygrometer, either independent of or part of the co

37、ntrol system, should be in continuous operation in the room, but such hygrometer must not he used to assess whether the atmosphere meets the requirements of this International Standard unless it also meets the re- quirements of annex A of this standard. The hygrometer should respond rapidly to chang

38、es in relative humidity, for example, less than 1 min for a change in relative humidity of io Yo. 6 Conditioning procedure 6.1 Preconditioning of the sample For lests in which lhe, hysteresis of the equilibrium moisture content may lead to important errors, the sample shall be pre-conditioned before

39、 conditioning, for 24 h in air of relative humidity between 10 o/o and 35 OX, and a temperature not above 40 “C. If it is known that conditioning (6.2) will result in an equi- librium moisture content equivalent to that achieved by sorption (see Introduction) this preliminary treat- ment may be omit

40、ted. NOTE 5 Since the effect of hysteresis may not be known until after the event, it is recommended that precondi- tioning be always carried out 6.2 Conditioning The specimens of the sample shall be held such that the conditioning air has free access to all their sur- faces so that their moisture c

41、ontents attain a state of equilibrium with the water vapour in the atmos- phere. This equilibrium is considered to be attained when the results of two consecutive weighings at least 1 h apart do not differ by more than 0,25 % of the total mass (3.2). The interval between weighings needs to be longer

42、 for higher grammage products and the degree of agreement expected between successive weighings should take account of the known cycling characteristics of the test room. NOTE 6 With good air circulation, a conditioning period of 4 h is usually sufficient for paper. A minimum time of 5 h to 8 h will

43、 be required for heavy papers. Boards of higher grammage and specially treated materials may require a conditioning period of 48 h or longer. 7 Test report The test report of any testing which is required to be done in this standard atmosphere shall include the following particulars: a) reference to

44、 this International Standard; b) the nominal conditioning atmosphere used; c) the lime for which lhe sample was conditioned; d) whether the paper or the board was pre- conditioned before conditioning.
