Annex B (normative) Method of test for curl in paper and board under exposure to normal conditions B.1 Principle The voucher is placed on a bench in a controlled atmosphere and any tendency for upward curl is measured. This test is a modified version of the RTM 31 developed by the Bri
48、tish Paper and Board Industry Federation Test Methods Committee 1. The method is suitable for most papers and boards. B.2 Apparatus B.2.1 Measuring rule, graduated in millimetres with no ungraduated margin. B.3 Test conditions B.3.1 Conditioning atmosphere controlled at (50 2) % relative humidity an
49、d 23 C 1 C as specified in BS EN 20187 (see note). NOTE.

B.4 Procedure Place two vouchers on a flat surface in the conditioning atmosphere so that one has its front face uppermost and the other has its back face uppermost. Allow the test pieces to condition for at least 15 min. Measure the curl by placing the rule vertically close to each corner in turn and
