12、8 BS ISO 5630-6:2009ISO 5630-6:2009(E) iv ISO 2009 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO techni
13、cal committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right 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 w
14、ith the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft Int
15、ernational 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 casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document m
16、ay be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 5630-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee SC 2, Test methods and quality specifications for paper and board. ISO 5630 consists of t
17、he following parts, under the general title Paper and board Accelerated ageing: Part 1: Dry heat treatment at 105 C Part 3: Moist heat treatment at 80 C and 65 % relative humidity Part 4: Dry heat treatment at 120 or 150 C Part 5: Exposure to elevated temperature at 100 C Part 6: Exposure to atmosph
18、eric pollution (nitrogen dioxide) NOTE Part 2: Moist heat treatment at 90 C and 25 % relative humidity was withdrawn in 1992. BS ISO 5630-6:2009ISO 5630-6:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved vIntroduction Exposure of paper or board to a hostile environment, such as some type of radiation, elevated
19、temperature or chemical pollutant, over a period of hours, can provide information concerning the natural changes that can occur in the material over a period of years. This test method for accelerated ageing by exposure of paper to an elevated concentration of nitrogen dioxide is based on the metho
20、d developed by ASTM1following an extensive research program. In this program, 15 printing and writing papers were tested, representing a wide variety of paper types (acid and alkaline, lignin-containing and lignin-free, and those with and without an alkaline reserve such as calcium carbonate). This
21、method proved to be the one most relevant to judge the effects of atmospheric pollutant gases on the long-term mechanical strength and optical stability of such papers. To get a full understanding of the stability of the paper to long-term natural ageing effects, a combination of test methods for ac
22、celerated ageing is used.

23、ageing of printing and writing papers through exposure to nitrogen dioxide gas and assessing the effect on mechanical and optical properties for the purpose of predicting stability to long-term natural ageing that occurs due to exposure to polluted air. It is applicable to all cellulose-based printi
24、ng and writing papers, including coated papers and filled papers. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced docum

27、and a volume fraction of 0,005 % 0,000 2 % of nitrogen dioxide BS ISO 5630-6:2009ISO 5630-6:2009(E) 2 ISO 2009 All rights reserved4 Principle Sheets of paper are aged at an accelerated rate by exposing them to polluted air comprising an elevated concentration of nitrogen dioxide gas. This air is cir
28、culated uniformly around the external surfaces of the paper in a controlled manner and for a specified period of time. The gas reacts chemically with the ingredients of the paper and causes changes in its physical strength and optical properties. By comparing the fold number and the b* CIE 1976 (L*a
29、*b*) colour space coordinate before and after ageing, a measure of the stability of paper strength and optical properties is obtained. 5 Reagents 5.1 Dry air, of high quality, purified, for control of the gas concentration in the ageing chamber. 5.2 Nitrogen dioxide, of high quality, pure, obtained
30、from an industrial supplier. WARNING Nitrogen dioxide is a highly toxic gas at the concentrations specified in this test method. Follow the manufacturers safety data sheets for the safety of personnel performing this test. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Gas delivery system, capable of delivering the required mixtu
31、re (see 3.2) of nitrogen dioxide gas (5.2) and dry air (5.1) to the ageing chamber at the required rate. Recalibrate the nitrogen dioxide concentration and flow-monitoring instruments with sufficient frequency to ensure continual delivery of the required gas flow. 6.2 Ageing chamber, of a material r
32、esistant to corrosive gases, having a volume sufficient to contain the number of individual paper sheets required for testing (10.2) without them touching each other or the chamber walls, with length, depth and width roughly equal, having no windows and allowing a uniform flow of the polluted air to
33、 all surfaces of the paper sheets. NOTE In the ASTM study, a chamber volume of 0,6 m3was found to be adequate for exposing sheets approximately 210 mm 300 mm (see Reference 1 in the Bibliography). 6.3 Four fixed horizontal hangers and four removable support bars, of a size which fully utilizes the a
34、geing chamber (6.2) whilst preventing the paper from touching the chamber walls, and designed such that the removable bars can be easily moved in and out of the chamber. The support bars are located such that they prevent wrinkling of the paper sheets but do not impose a load on them. Figure 1 shows
35、 a paper sheet with holes in all four corners, supported by the removable bars. 6.4 Gas control system, that ensures precise flow of the polluted air (3.2) into the ageing chamber. The design of the apparatus shall be such that the gas concentration entering or already in the ageing chamber can be m
36、onitored and recorded with appropriate equipment and instruments. NOTE A method for monitoring and recording the gas concentration is described in Paper aging ASTMs Paper Aging Research Report Program1. 6.5 System for controlling relative humidity and temperature, that measures and controls the rela
37、tive humidity and temperature of the polluted air entering or already in the ageing chamber.

38、 chamber 6.6 Exhaust system for polluted air, that permits the gas to be continuously removed. The design should be such that the amount removed each hour is equal to approximately 5 % of the volume in the chamber. This is to ensure that there is no build-up in the chamber of products of degradation
39、 emitted from the paper during the period of exposure. NOTE Safety systems are required in the workspace surrounding the ageing chamber to ensure that any gas that might escape from the system will be thoroughly and quickly removed from the workspace in a manner that is safe and environmentally soun
40、d. 7 Sampling Always handle the paper samples with clean cotton gloves. If the average quality of a lot is to be determined, sampling shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 186. If another type of sample is to be tested, make sure that the specimens taken are representative of the sample receiv
41、ed. Select sufficient sheets of adequate size for testing the fold number and colour of aged and unaged specimens (10.2). Randomize the specimens. 8 Conditioning Immediately prior to the ageing period, condition the specimens in the dark, including those which will not be aged, in accordance with IS
42、O 187. The specimens that will not be aged shall be kept in the dark in the same standard atmosphere until their properties are tested. BS ISO 5630-6:2009ISO 5630-6:2009(E) 4 ISO 2009 All rights reserved9 Preparation of test specimens for ageing Carry out the preparation of the test specimens in the
43、 same atmosphere as that used for conditioning (Clause 8). The test specimens shall be of a size suitable for hanging in the ageing chamber (6.2) without touching the chamber walls. If the specimens are too large, reduce them to a suitable size. Punch holes in all four corners of the test specimens
44、which will be subjected to accelerated ageing, such that when mounted on the support bars no load is imposed on them and they are kept free of wrinkles. 10 Procedure 10.1 Ageing Insert the support bars through the test specimens and mount the support bars and test specimens on the horizontal hangers
45、 in the ageing chamber (6.2). Suspend the test specimens such that no two specimens touch each other and none touches the ageing chamber walls. Expose the test specimens for 120 h 0,5 h to a flow of polluted air containing 0,005 % 0,000 2 % by volume of nitrogen dioxide (5.2) in dry air (5.1), broug
46、ht to the same relative humidity and temperature as that used for conditioning (Clause 8). The flow rate shall be such that the volume of polluted air passing through the ageing chamber per hour is equal to approximately 5 % of the volume of the chamber. Do not insert additional test specimens into
47、the ageing chamber or remove test specimens from it during the period of exposure. The ageing chamber shall be kept in the same standard atmosphere as used for conditioning (Clause 8) for the whole exposure period. NOTE During the first hour, approximately, the gas concentration in the ageing chambe
48、r will be reaching equilibrium. 10.2 Testing of aged and unaged test specimens Immediately after ageing, condition the aged test specimens in the dark in the same atmosphere as used for the initial conditioning (Clause 8), according to ISO 187, but omitting preconditioning. From the aged and unaged
49、test specimens, cut test pieces for testing the fold number and colour. Determine the fold number in the machine direction (MD) in accordance with ISO 5626 and the b* CIE 1976 (L*a*b*) colour space coordinate in accordance with ISO 5631-1, of both the aged and unaged test specimens. 11 Calculation Calculate the MD fold numbers and the mean values of the b* CIE 1976 (L*a*b*) colour space coordinate according to the instructions in the relevant International Standard.
