FORMING HANDSHEETS FOR PHYSICAL TEST OF PULP

• Describes a method of forming test hand sheets at an oven dry weight of 60 g/m2 for Determining the physical properties of pulp.
• Procedure can be used for both unrefined and refined pulps.
• Procedures for measuring the physical properties are described TAPPI T 220 “physical testing of pulp hand sheets.”
• Determining the optical properties of pulp is described in TAPPI T 218 “forming hand sheets for reflectance tests of pulp.”
• Measures the drainage time and drainage factor of pulp is described in TAPPI T 221 “drainage time of pulp.”
• Determine properties of mixtures of hardwood/softwood or of fiber species to obtain desired properties for machine made papers.
