23、paper as a bulking thickness.This International Standard also specifies calculation methods for the apparent sheet density and for the apparent bulk density, and for the apparent specific sheet volume and for the apparent specific bulk volumefrom the thickness determinations.This International Stand
24、ard is not applicable to corrugated fibreboard. In addition, the measurement of bulking thickness, method b) above, is not suitable for board1).NOTE The two methods generally lead to different results. These methods are not applicable to tissue paper and tissue products. For tissue paper and tissue
25、products, ISO 12625-3 should be used.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

33、ratus5.1 Dead-weight micrometer, incorporating two plane, parallel, circular pressure faces, between which the paper or board is placed for measurement.The pressure exerted between the pressure faces during the thickness measurement shall be (100 10) kPa.The two pressure faces shall form an integral
34、 part of the micrometer, such that one face is fixed (the anvil) and the other is movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the fixed face.One face shall be (16,0 0,5) mm in diameter and the second face shall be of such a size that it is in contact with the whole area of the other face wh
35、en the micrometer reads zero. Thus, a circular region of a test piece, nominally 200 mm2in area, is subjected during the thickness measurement to the pressure exerted by the faces.The performance requirements of the micrometer shall be such that, when calibrated according to the method given in Anne
36、x A, the micrometer complies with the required pressure of (100 10) kPa and the performance requirements shown in Table 1 (see also 9.1).DIN EN ISO 534:2012-02 EN ISO 534:2011 (E) 5 Table 1 Micrometer-performance requirementsMicrometer characteristics Maximum permitted valueaIndication error 2,5 m o

38、50 %, 70 % and 90 % of the full-scale reading of the micrometer. The thickness of each gauge shall be known to an accuracy of 0,3 m.6 SamplingIf the tests are made to evaluate a lot, select the sample in accordance with ISO 186. If the tests are made on another type of sample, make sure that the tes
39、t pieces taken are representative of the sample received.7 ConditioningCondition the sample in accordance with ISO 187.8 Preparation of test pieces8.1 GeneralPrepare the test pieces in the same standard atmospheric conditions as those used to condition the sample. Avoid areas with folds, creases, cr
40、acks or other defects which could influence the results.8.2 Single sheet thicknessCut not more than two test pieces from each specimen taken at random from the sample available, with minimum dimensions 60 mm 60 mm. Ensure that the test piece dimensions are not so large that the micrometer reading is
41、 affected by the test piece mass that overhangs the lower pressure face while a measurement is being made. When measuring board, do not use test pieces with dimensions exceeding 100 mm 100 mm. These test piece dimensions are usually satisfactory for making measurements on paper.Prepare at least 20 t
42、est pieces.8.3 Bulking thicknessCut sheets at random from the sample available, preferably having dimensions 200 mm 250 mm, the 200 mm dimension being in the machine direction (see Figure 1). If this is not possible, prepare smaller sheets of at least 150 mm 150 mm.Make up a pack of ten sheets to fo
43、rm the test piece; each sheet shall be oriented in the same direction and with the same side up and the same dimensions. Each sheet shall be independent of the rest. For example, it is not permitted to fold one sheet and insert it folded into the test piece to form two or more sheets. The number of
44、sheets in a test piece shall normally be ten.Prepare at least four test pieces, and make sure that the number of sheets and their sizes in each test piece is the same.In special circumstances, such as for thick or very thin sheets or when agreed between the parties concerned, a smaller or larger num
45、ber of sheets, or a smaller or larger sheet, may be used.DIN EN ISO 534:2012-02 EN ISO 534:2011 (E) 6 The number of sheets used and their size shall be reported.Dimensions in millimetresKey1 machine direction (MD)Figure 1 Positions of measurements on a test piece for bulking thickness9 Procedure9.1
46、GeneralPrior to the use of the micrometer (5.1) or when calibrating it, ensure that the anvil, pressure foot and thickness gauges (5.2) are clean.NOTE 1 Particularly in the case of the anvil and pressure foot, small pieces of fibre can collect on these surfaces, causing erroneous high values.When th
47、ickness gauges (5.2) are used in calibration, they should be gently wiped with alcohol using a non-linting absorbent material.NOTE 2 The above requirements do not apply to 9.3.3.9.2 Verification and calibration of micrometerAt appropriate time intervals, calibrate the micrometer in the conditioning
48、atmosphere used for the measurement of thickness, and verify its performance using the method given in Annex A.For micrometers used frequently, the indication error and repeatability of measurement should be determined daily. The pressure exerted by the pressure faces and their error of parallelism should be determined at monthly intervals.9.3 Determinations9.3.1 Determination of single sheet thicknessCarry out the test in the standard atmospheric conditions in which the samples were conditioned.Place the micr
