Moisture in pulp, paper

8、and paperboard 1. Scope and significance 1.1 The following procedure applies to pulp, paper, paperboard, and paper products, except those containing significant quantities of materials other than water that are volatile at lower than 107C (224.6F) or degrade above 103C (217.4F). Moisture is signific

9、ant for economic reasons and for its effect on such properties as printability, shrinkage, dimensional stability, physical strength, and paper runnability. 1.2 This method should be followed to: 1.2.1 Determine the amount of moisture in a lot of pulp, paper or paperboard as an “as received” moisture

10、. 1.2.2 Determine the amount of moisture in shipping containers. 1.2.3 Calculate results of analysis of the moisture content on the original weight of the specimen. 2. Apparatus 2.1 Weighing container,for small specimens, a wide-mouth, glass-stopper weighing bottle approximately 65 mm (2.56 in.) in

11、diameter and 45 mm (1.77 in.) high. For larger specimens, use an airtight metal or other airtight container (non moisture responding), preferably equipped with a removable wire basket, and of such a size as to accommodate the specimens without their being tightly packed. The container used shall be

12、of a material that is not affected by heat. 2.2 Drying oven, constant-temperature, with means of ensuring adequate temperature control at 105 2C (221 3.6F) and free access of air. NOTE 1: There is danger of local overheating if the specimens are exposed to direct rays of unshielded heating elements.

13、 2.3 Balance, accurate to 1 mg (0.000035 oz), for weighing specimens of 2 g (0.000071 oz) and less; for larger specimens, accurate to 0.05% of the original weight of the specimen. T 412 om-11 Moisture in pulp, paper and paperboard / 2 3. Safety precautions Employ proper personal protective equipment

14、 for removing items from hot ovens. 4. Sampling 4.1 For pulp, sample in accordance with TAPPI T 210 “Sampling and Testing Wood Pulp Shipments for Moisture.” 4.2 When sampling a shipment for moisture, take extreme care to avoid any change in the moisture content. For paper and paperboard, sample in a

15、ccordance with TAPPI T 400 “Sampling and Accepting a Single Lot of Paper, Paperboard, Containerboard, or Related Product.” 4.3 For moisture in containers, cut specimens from unsealed and unprinted sections. 5. Test specimens 5.1 For moisture in a lot of pulp, paper or paperboard, obtain duplicate te

16、st specimens. 5.2 General precautions: Do not use bare hands to handle specimens. Handle specimens and weighing containers with clean, dry, rubber or polyethylene gloves or tools and place each specimen as soon as obtained in the tared container and close it immediately. If there is a delay of even

17、a few seconds in making the transfer, keep the specimen covered on both sides with several of its adjacent layers until it is ready for placement in the container. Unless the specimen is to be spread out later in the oven, avoid filling the container tightly. 6. Procedure 6.1 For large specimens lar

18、ger than 2 g (0.071 oz) 6.1.1 Weigh each specimen to the nearest 0.02 g (0.00705 oz) in a closed container. Unless the container has a removable basket, remove the specimen from the container, spread it on a tray preferably made of wire mesh to enable free circulation of air around it and place it a

19、nd its container in the oven. Heat for 60 5 min at 105 2C. If grammage is greater than 224 g/m2, heat for 120 5 min. If grammage in basis weight is needed to determine the needed time, convert to g/m2according to T 410 “Grammage of Paper and Paperboard (Weight per Unit Area).” 6.1.2 Replace the spec

20、imen in its container and close it, doing this in the oven if possible. Allow the closed container and contents to cool to room temperature in a desiccator containing a charged drying agent such as anhydrous calcium sulfate. When cool, open the container momentarily to allow air to enter before rewe

21、ighing and reweigh to the nearest 0.02 g (0.000705 oz). 6.2 For small specimens 2 g (0.071 oz) or smaller 6.2.1 Weigh the specimen in the tared weighing bottle to the nearest milligram, place it in the drying oven, remove the stopper and heat for 30 3 min; for grammages greater than 224 g/m2, heat f

22、or 60 5 min. 6.2.2 Restopper the bottle, remove it from the oven, cool to room temperature in a desiccator, loosen the stopper momentarily to allow air to enter, and reweigh. Carry out this weighing step within 30 min after removal of the bottle from the oven to prevent reabsorption of water vapor b

23、y the specimen. 6.3 For all specimens: after an initial drying period as specified in 6.1.1 and 6.2.1 use a second drying period, at least equal to the first and subsequent drying periods, each of which is at least one-halfthe total of all previous drying periods, until two successive weighings do n

24、ot differ by more than 0.1% of the weight of the specimen. During these periods do not put any new test specimens in the oven. 7. Report Calculate the moisture for each specimen as the percentage loss of the original weight of the specimen, to the nearest 0.1%. (W1- W2) Percent moisture content = (1

25、00) W13 / Moisture in pulp, paper and paperboard T 412 om-11 where: W1= initial specimen weight W2= dry specimen weight Report as moisture the average of the values for the two specimens. Any variations from the recommended method should be stated in the report. 8. Precision 8.1 The values of repeat

26、ability and reproducibility provided below have been calculated for test results each of which is the average of two replicate test determinations. The values are based on data obtained from the CTS Collaborative Interlaboratory Proficiency Testing Program for Paper and Paperboard, Reports 164G thro

27、ugh 192G in which the range of test results was 4 to 6%. The terms are in accordance with the definitions in TAPPI T 1200 “Interlaboratory Evaluation of the Test Methods to Determine TAPPI Repeatability and Reproducibility.” 8.2 Repeatability (within a laboratory) = 0.075% moisture ( not % of percen

28、t moisture). 8.3 Reproducibility (between laboratories) = 0.93%. 8.4 Note that these are for paper and paperboard only. The user of these precision data is advised that it is based on actual mill testing, laboratory testing, or both. There is no knowledge of the exact degree to which personnel skill

29、s or equipment were optimized during its generation. The precision quoted provides an estimate of typical variation in test results which may be encountered when this method is routinely used by two or more parties. 8.5 The precision and accuracy of test results will be affected by: (a) variations i

30、n moisture content throughout a reel; (b) handling and atmospheric exposure; and (c) the ambient relative humidity of the drying oven. A difference of up to 0.3% moisture content in bleached paperboard has been noted between cases where the oven has been located in a low relative humidity (less than

31、 15%) or at standard (50%) humidities. Where possible, it is suggested to locate the oven in the test laboratory environment of 50% R.H. 9. Keywords Pulp, Paper, Paperboard, Moisture content 10.
