11、ardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right
12、to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International St
13、andards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
14、 casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 15361 was prepared by Technical Committee I
15、SO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee SC 5, Test methods and quality specifications for pulp. Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standard.ISO 15361:2000(E) v Introduction Tensile strength data at a span length of zero may be used to assess the retention of fibre strength th
16、rough the entire fibre-processing chain, providing opportunities to optimize fibre characteristics and utilization in various paper grades. Tensile strength values determined at a span length of zero contribute to our understanding of finished sheet strength and are of increasing importance in measu
17、ring the impact of new pulping, bleaching and papermaking processes on fibre characteristics. The zero-span tensile test may be used to determine the strength of pulp fibres when beaten under laboratory conditions, regardless of the laboratory beating procedure used. Measurement of zero-span tensile
18、 strength, in conjunction with tensile strength as well as other physical properties, is useful in optimizing new fibre-processing techniques and maximizing utilization of new fibre sources such as recycled fibres. Papers referenced in the bibliography give further information on the use of zero-spa
19、n tensile measurements. The clamping pressure utilized in zero-span testing ensures a maximum clamping effect but cannot totally prevent micro-slippage, whereby the tensile load transmitted in the clamped fibres is dissipated by frictional shear into the clamping jaws. This micro-slippage means that
20、 the ends of some fibres will slip out from beneath the clamping jaw, thereby diminishing the number of fibres carrying the load at tensile failure. In addition, if kinks in fibres are not removed in the beating process, test results may be diminished. For these reasons, careful interpretation of th
21、e zero-span tensile strength value should be exercised in order to separate effects due to the relative number of fibres which are carrying the load at failure, and the effects due to the tensile strength of the individual fibres present in the aggregate. The zero-span strength values may be differe
22、nt if the samples are tested dry and conditioned, rewetted or wet (never dried).INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15361:2000(E) 1 Pulps Determination of zero-span tensile strength, wet or dry 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the procedure for determining the tensile strength of laboratory shee

31、e NOTE Either conditioned or oven-dry grammage may be used in the calculation, and should be reported. 4P r i n c i p l e From a pulp suspension, laboratory sheets or wet test pieces are formed. They can be tested wet (i.e. never dried), dried (as conditioned) or rewetted. The test pieces are clampe
32、d in a tensile-testing instrument where the clamps are adjusted to zero-span and the test pieces are strained to break. The maximum force at rupture is measured and the zero-span tensile strength is calculated. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Tensile strength tester, complying with the following requirements. 5.1.1
33、 Clamping device, incorporating two clamps with jaws for holding the test piece (see Figure 1). In each clamp, the lower jaw is planar, and is sometimes referred to as the anvil. The upper jaw is similar to the lower jaw, except that it includes a tip extending across the entire front width of the j
34、aw and having a minimum dimension perpendicular to the width of at least 0,6 mm. The width of the jaws shall be between 15 mm and 25 mm, however, the exact width used is not critical, but shall be known to a certainty of 0,01 mm. The jaws shall be of identical width to 0,01 mm (see Figure 2). p is t
35、he pressure applied to the test piece by the clamps in the pressurized state. Figure 1 Essential elements for any zero-span tensile testerISO 15361:2000(E) 3 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 2 Suitable arrangement for the clamps There shall be a means for applying a clamping pressure by the clamps o
36、n the test piece. The clamping pressure shall be uniform to 0,1 % across the width of the jaw. The clamping pressure shall be variable between 250 kPa and 1 000 kPa. The clamps shall be in alignment in both the horizontal direction, A, and vertical direction, B (see Figure 3). When the clamps are in
37、 the closed position with no test piece in place, a beam of light aimed to pass between the clamps, is completely interrupted. The alignment of the clamps is generally set by the manufacturer, and is not user- adjustable. In use, however, adherence of one or more fibres to one of the jaws is possibl
38、e, in which case a light beam may not be completely interrupted. This matter shall be dealt with as described in 8.1.2. Figure 3 Spatial alignment of the two clamps 5.1.2 Means of applying an in-plane tensile force within the fibre aggregate in the free span between the clamps, and of measuring the
39、force at failure, complying with the following requirements. The force shall be applied by tending to cause one clamp to move away from the other in such a way that the rate of increase of the force is (25 2) N/s per 10 mm of jaw width. The accuracy of the means used to measure the applied force sha

(See ISO 5269.)ISO 15361:2000(E) 4 5.4 Device for cutting test pieces, see 7.2. 5.5 Immersion dish or laboratory spray bottle or other suitable device for wetting of test pieces. These are required only if the test piece is to be wetted before te
42、sting. 5.6 Sponge roller, for removal of excess water from the wetted test piece, or alternatively a rectangular block of sponge with a smooth, flat surface and without obvious surface imperfections. This is required only if the test piece is to be wetted before testing. 5.7 Sample inserter, made of
43、 stainless steel or another noncorrosive material, 0,5 mm or less in thickness. This may be used to transport a wet test piece into the jaws of the tester. 5.8 Mould, made of stainless steel or another noncorrosive material, for preparing test pieces when testing never-dried laboratory sheets. For d
44、imensions see 7.3. 5.9 Various items of common laboratory equipment, for determination of grammage of the never-dried samples. See ISO 536. 5.10 Disintegrator, in accordance with ISO 5263. This is needed only when a sample of dry or semi-dry pulp is to be tested. 5.11 Device for mechanical treatment
45、 of fibres, to reduce fibre curl or kinks, if required, such as a laboratory beater or pulper, for example a Valley beater (ISO 5264-1), a PFI mill (ISO 5264-2) or a high-speed blender as described in annex A. 6 Sampling If the result is intended to reflect the quality of a lot of pulp, sampling sha
46、ll be carried out in accordance with ISO 7213. 7 Preparation of test pieces 7.1 Introduction The test method requires a random aggregate of fibres in sheet form for testing. Even when the sample to be tested is obtained in sheet form, the fibres shall be reduced to a slurry and then reformed into a
47、randomly oriented sheet, unless they are in the form of a laboratory sheet complying with 7.3. If desired, the fibre slurry may be treated to remove fibre curls or kinks prior to sheet forming, but this shall be reported together with the results. 7.2 Pretreatment of sample For pulps received in a d
48、ry or semi-dry form, disintegrate the pulp in accordance with ISO 5263. Pulp slurries may also be disintegrated as required or agreed. Remove from the slurry the quantity of pulp fibres required for preparation of the laboratory sheets. The exact amount of fibre required will depend upon the sheet-f
49、orming procedure. If the concentration of fibres in the slurry is greater than that required in the following steps, reduce the concentration by adding water. Fibres in mill-produced pulp or mixed/kneaded laboratory pulp are often deformed (curled or kinked). This deformation influences the measured zero-span tensile strength value. If the deformations need to be eliminated, soak the pulp as described in ISO 5263, disintegrate if necessary, and mechanically treat the fibres. An example of a treatment, which may be suita
