19、 consumption during beating to be measured. For practical reasons it has not proved possible to achieve this at present. Therefore, as an interim measure, in view of the widespread use of the following methods Valley beater, PFI mill, Jokro mill, it has been decided to provide agreed guidance on the
20、 use of these equipments in order to achieve consistency of results with each instrument. While all three methods will show a similar trend in respect of the pulp tested, the actual results cannot be correlated between different types of beater 1) . The position will be kept under review, and the me
21、thods will be replaced by a single method as soon as practicable. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method, using a Valley beater, for the laboratory beating of pulp. The description is limited to the furnishing and beating of the stock, the withdrawal and distribution of samples, and
22、the beating equipment. The beating is a preliminary step in testing the physical properties of pulp. Part 2 specifies a method of laboratory beating using a PFI mill and Part3 a method using a Jokromill. 2 Field of application In principle, this method is applicable to all kinds of pulp. NOTEIn prac
23、tice, the method may not give satisfactory results with certain extremely long-fibred pulps, such as cotton linters. 3 References ISO 638, Pulps Determination of dry matter content. ISO 4119, Pulps Determination of stock concentration (Rapid method). ISO 5263, Pulps Laboratory wet disintegration 2)
24、. 4 Principle A measured amount of pulp of specified stock concentration is beaten between the bars of the roll and the bedplate of a Valley beater. Samples of beaten pulp are taken at intervals during the beating. 5 Apparatus and auxiliary materials Ordinary laboratory equipment and 5.1 Valley beat
25、er, as described inAnnex A. 5.2 Timer. 5.3 Balance, capable of weighing the sample to an error of less than1g. 5.4 Distilled water, or deionized water, or water of similar quality. NOTEDistilled water, or water of similar quality, is particularly recommended with a view to obviating any difficulties
26、 that might arise from the use of different qualities of water by the interested parties. 6 Preparation of sample If the pulp is wet or air-dry, weigh out a sample for dry matter determination in accordance with ISO638. If the pulp is in slush form, determine the dry matter content in accordance wit
27、h ISO4119. Take an amount of the pulp corresponding to3605g of oven-dry pulp (do not cut the pulp, and avoid the use of cut edges). If the sample is in the form of machine-dried sheets or flash-dried slabs, soak the pulp thoroughly in5 litres of water (see5.4) at room temperature for not less than4h
28、. Tear the soaked pulp into pieces approximately25mm 25mm in size. It is essential that the pulp be thoroughly softened by soaking, to ensure that the preliminary disintegration results in a minimal beating effect. Wet pulps may be disintegrated without soaking. 7 Procedure 7.1 Disintegration The pr
29、eliminary disintegration is effected in the Valley beater (5.1) itself. 1) Should one of the three methods listed become the future standard method, that one of the methods should be chosen which works in the most economical way and yields the highest reproducibility of results obtained in different
30、 laboratories. At present, some countries are of the opinion that the PFI mill described in ISO5264-2 meets these requirements best of all. 2) At present at the stage of draft.BS6094-1:1981 2 BSI 12-1999 Lower the bedplate, and clamp it in the lowered position, so that the clearance between the roll
31、 and bedplate bars is at least10mm. Close the outlet of the beater tub with a stopper. Fill the tub with18 litres of water (5.4) at20 5 C, and start the motor. Slowly add, over a period of3 to5min, the pulp and the water used for wetting it. The total volume of pulp and water should be23,0 0,2 litre
32、s, to give a pulp concentration of approximately1,57% (m/m). Disintegrate the pulp with the bedplate still fixed in its lowered position. Free any pieces of pulp caught behind the roll or the adjacent shield, by moving the lever arm of the bedplate rapidly once or twice up and down during the course
33、 of disintegration. Pulps with an initial dry matter content of20% (m/m) or more normally disintegrate within30min after addition of all the pulp to the beater tub. Pulps with less than20% (m/m) dry matter content should disintegrate within5min. NOTE 1Where necessary for climatic reasons, a temperat
34、ure of25 5 C may be applied, provided that this is noted in the test report. NOTE 2Ensure that the pulp is completely disintegrated. Pulps that are difficult to disintegrate, such as unbleached sulphate pulp, may require a time exceeding30min for disintegration. NOTE 3A sample disintegrated as descr
35、ibed above may not be regarded as a sample of unbeaten pulp disintegrated in accordance with ISO5263. NOTE 4Hands must not be placed inside the beater while it is running. 7.2 Beating Check that the load on the bedplate lever is as specified, release the lever, and start the timer (5.2). Without int
36、erruption of the beating process, and without removal of the bedplate load, withdraw a total of five stock samples of1200ml (18,8g of fibres, oven-dry basis), distributed over the range of beating required. The following is an example of a schedule for sample removal: NOTE 1Even if the quantity of p
37、ulp withdrawn is not necessarily all used for testing, it is necessary that the stated quantity of pulp be withdrawn at the periods adopted. It can be expected that a change in the volume removed will change the rate of beating. NOTE 2After beating, clean the beater thoroughly with water and, if nec
38、essary, with a pitch solvent, with due consideration being given to the rubber diaphragm. NOTE 3If pulps are normally beaten to “Canadian Standard” freeness number values below300, or to Schopper-Riegler number values above40, frequent checks should be made of the calibration of the beater. NOTE 4If
39、 the drainability is measured, this should be done with a minimum of delay. 8 Test report The test report shall include the following particulars: a) the reference to this International Standard; b) all the indications necessary for complete identification of the sample; c) the time used for prelimi
40、nary disintegration; d) the time used for beating; e) the results obtained in the drainability test, if made (see note4 to7.2); f) any unusual features observed in the course of the procedure; g) any operations not specified in this International Standard or in the International Standards to which r
41、eference is made, or regarded as optional, which might have affected the results. Beating conditions: Load on the lever arm: 54 1N Rotational frequency of the roll: 8,3 0,2 s 1 Bleached and unbleached sulphite pulps, straw pulps and hardwood alkaline pulps: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 min Bleached softwood al
42、kaline pulps: 5, 15, 30, 45, 60 min Unbleached softwood alkaline and other slow-beating pulps 5, 15, 30, 60, 90 minBS6094-1:1981 BSI 12-1999 3 Annex A Valley Beater (see theFigure) The bars of the roll and bedplate are made of stainless steel. The bedplate has a Brinell hardness of325 to375HB, and t
43、he roll flybars350 to400HB. The diameter of the roll is168mm; with the32 flybars inserted, it is190 to194mm. The thickness of each flybar is4,7mm, and the width of the roll152mm. The bedplate has7 bars set in lead, each3,2mm thick and2,4mm apart. The grooves between the bars are filled with strips o
44、f kiln-dried white oak. The bars are rectangular in cross-section and bent in the shape of a V with the apex of the V pointing in the flow direction of the stock, and the arms of the V forming an angle of5 with the direction of the roll axis. The width of the bedplate is159mm; it is ground to the sa
45、me curvature as the roll. The bedplate and the bottom of the beater tub are connected by a diaphragm of soft, elastic rubber, of thickness approximately1,5mm, installed in such a way that there is no tension in the diaphragm when the bedplate and beater roll are in contact. The bedplate is pressed a
46、gainst the roll by means of a lever; the ratio between the lever arms is1,94 to1; a load of5500gf, obtained by using suitable weights applied to the longer arm then produces a force of105N on the bedplate. The roll is run at a rotational frequency of8.3 0,2s 1and may conveniently be driven by a moto
47、r of approximately400W by a belt drive. The beater tub is provided with bolts for fixing the bedplate lever during grinding. The bedplate is balanced so that it is in equilibrium with23,0 litres of water in the beater when the beater is running. An extremely small force will then bring the roll and
48、bedplate into contact. To ensure reproducible beating, the following conditions shall be fulfilled: a) The beater roll shall run smoothly, without irregular vibrations. b) All the roll and bedplate bars shall make contact throughout their width. c) The threshold formed by the first bar of the bedpla
49、te, and the depth of grooves between the bedplate bars, shall be1,0 0,2mm. d) The leading edge of the flybars shall be rounded to a radius of approximately0,2 to0,3mm. e) All the bars shall be clean, undamaged and free from deposits and corrosion. Annex B Calibration of the Valley beater The following calibration procedure is designed to bring the beater to a condition which will remain stable during repeated use, and maintain reproducible laboratory sheet properties at a given beating degree, within a narrow range of beating t
