In recent

12、 years it has become apparent that, when testing paper and board intended for printing, conditions similar to those encountered in printing presses should be used. In particular, when paper is intended for letterpress printing, it is desirable to have a measure of the depth of the pits in the paper

13、surface when under the pressures encountered during printing, to indicate the ink film thickness required for a satisfactory result. Air-leak methods provide convenient means of testing paper roughness, but they are known to be subject to errors caused by the flow of air through the paper. This flow

14、 can become large in comparison with the flow across the paper surface, especially when the paper is highly permeable or two-sided and when the clamping pressure is so high that the surface flow is relatively small. The use of high clamping pressures with resilient backings also causes the paper to

15、become indented at the edges of the metering land which is pressed against the paper. Such distortion of the paper surface can affect roughness readings and should be avoided. These two sources of error can be minimized by an appropriate design of the sensing head, as in the instrument described in

16、this British Standard, which has been developed as a result of the above considerations. The derivation of a fundamental relationship between air-flow characteristics and roughness has made possible the direct calibration of the instrument in terms of the extent of departures from a reference plane.

17、 It also permits the calculation of roughness from results obtained by a variety of techniques. Therefore, although a standard apparatus is described, the use of variants that meet certain basic requirements is not precluded. 1 Scope This British Standard describes a method for determining the rough

18、ness of paper and board under printing pressures, by use of the Parker Print-surf air-leak apparatus. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definition For the purposes of this British Standard the following definition applies. roughnes

19、s of a sheet material under pressure the extent of deviation of a sheet material from a reference plane against which it is pressed 3 Principle The test piece is firmly pressed at a fixed pressure by a deformable backing against a reference plane; this plane is interrupted by two narrow parallel slo

20、ts, separated by a narrow metal land. Air is supplied at constant pressure to one of these slots and the rate of flow between the test piece and the metal land into the other slot is observed. The roughness of the test piece is calculated as the cube root of the mean cube of the distance between the

21、 test piece and the reference plane and is expressed in absolute units using the following data: a) the dimension of the metering land; b) the rate of air flow and the pressure at which it is measured; c) the upstream and downstream air pressures. The width of the metering land is of the same order

22、of magnitude as that of a half-tone dot. The only departures from the plane to contribute to the results will be those that are wider than the metering land. The relationship used to calculate the roughness is given in Appendix A. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Sensing head, of circular form. 4.2 Hard and soft bac

23、king assemblies 4.3 Clamping mechanism, with fixed clamping pressures. 4.4 Measuring system, comprising either flowmeters or a fluidic impedance system. 4.5 Air supply, clean and water free at a pressure of300kPa to600kPa. NOTESee Appendix B for detailed descriptions of the apparatus. 5 Sampling Sel

24、ect samples in accordance with BS3430. 6 Conditioning Condition samples in accordance with BS3431. Carry out the tests in the same atmosphere as used for conditioning. 7 Preparation of test pieces For each side to be tested, cut at least ten test pieces not less than100mm 2from the selected specimen

25、s, avoiding any part of the sample that is less than15mm from the side of a sheet or reel. Also avoid the inclusion of any folds, creases, visible cracks or other defects in the test pieces. If watermarks are present, state this fact in the test report. Mark each test piece near the edge to identify

26、 the sides.BS6563:1985 2 BSI 10-1999 8 Procedure 8.1 Installation Set the instrument on a horizontal rigid surface, free from vibration. 8.2 Selection of backing assembly Select the appropriate backing assembly 1)and position it in the instrument. 8.3 Clamping pressure Ensure that the sensing head i

27、s in place and connect the air supply to the instrument. Select the clamping pressure as follows: 8.4 Flowmeter instruments (types 750 and 750/EPC) Adjust the sensing head to give a differential pressure of6.17kPa. Select the highest range flowmeter. Insert a spare test piece between the head and th

28、e backing. Clamp using the appropriate pressure. Select the correct flowmeter. NOTEIf the lowest range flowmeter is not sufficiently sensitive, increase the sensing head differential pressure to19.6kPa. Readings made at the higher differential pressure are corrected by dividing the flowmeter reading

29、 by a factor of1.5. Insert the first test piece. Read the roughness value in micrometres to the nearest0.054m3s to5s after the first application of the clamping pressure. Readings should be taken level with the top of the flowmeter float. Repeat with the remaining test pieces. NOTEThe instrument is

30、designed to measure compressibility also, so that, after the reading has been taken, it is possible to select a higher clamping pressure that permits a further reading to be taken without releasing the test piece. 8.5 Digital instruments (type PPS 78) Insert a test piece between the head and the bac

31、king. The action of the test piece obstructing a light beam automatically clamps the test piece against the sensing head. The indicator lamp marked “air” lights up and after about4s the roughness is shown on the digital display. At the same time the test piece is released. The reading is held until

32、the next test piece is inserted. NOTESmall samples may not actuate the automatic clamping process. When this occurs the sample may be clamped by operating the button marked “manual start”. NOTE to8.4 and8.5 The precision of the results obtained is affected not only by operator and instrument error b

33、ut also by the roughness of the paper or board surface and the variability of that roughness. Consequently it is difficult to give realistic values for precision. However, typical values obtained during the routine operation of calibration check services in the UK and USA are given below: 9 Test rep

38、 absolute pressure, because air is compressible, the pressure drop P has to be replaced by the following equation: Equation (2) is derived on the assumption that the gap between the metering land and test piece is uniform across the breadth of land, but that it varies along its length w. Equation (2

39、) is subject to the restrictions that the flow is laminar, and that the kinetic energy changes per unit volume of gas are negligible compared with%P. The flow conditions are normally well within the laminar range, but the kinetic energy may be important when rough papers are measured, unless the dif

40、ferential pressure is restricted. The full equation for flow over the metering land, given below, may be used to estimate the extent of the error. where Appendix B Apparatus and its maintenance B.1 General The apparatus is composed of the following majorparts, interconnected as shown in Figure 1 orF
