Pulps - Preparation of laboratory sheets for physical testing - Part 1: Conventional sheet-former method (ISO 5269-1:2005)

ISO 5269-1:2005 specifies a method, using a conventional sheet former, for the preparation of laboratory sheets of pulp for the purpose of carrying out subsequent physical tests on these sheets in order to assess the relevant properties of the pulp itself.
ISO 5269-1:2005 is applicable to most kinds of pulp. It is not suitable for some pulps with very long fibres, such as those made from unshortened cotton, flax and similar materials.
This method is not suitable for the preparation of laboratory sheets for the determination of diffuse blue reflectance factor (ISO brightness) in accordance with ISO 3688

Faserstoffe - Laborblattbildung für physikalische Prüfungen - Teil 1: Konventionelles Blattbildungsverfahren (ISO 5269-1:2005)

Dieser Teil der ISO 5269 legt ein Verfahren für die Blattbildung zur Herstellung von Laborblättern auf einem konventionellen Laborblattbildner fest. Die so hergestellten Laborblätter können anschließend physikalischen Prüfungen unterzogen werden, um die relevanten Eigenschaften des Faserstoffes zu bestimmen.
Dieser Teil der ISO 5269 ist auf die Mehrzahl aller Faserstoffe anwendbar, eignet sich jedoch nicht für besonders langfaserige Faserstoffe, wie sie beispielsweise aus ungekürzter Baumwolle, Flachs und ähnlichen Rohstoffen hergestellt werden.
Ferner ist dieses Verfahren nicht für die Herstellung von Laborblättern zur Bestimmung des diffusen blauen Reflexionsfaktors (ISO-Weißgrad) nach ISO 3688 [1] geeignet.
WARNUNG - Wenn langfaseriger Zellstoff in ungekürzter Form verwendet wird, ist die Blattformation nicht immer zufriedenstellend.

Overview

EN ISO 5269-1:2005 is a comprehensive international standard that specifies a conventional sheet-former method for preparing laboratory sheets of pulp intended for physical testing. Developed by ISO in collaboration with CEN, this standard ensures consistency and reliability in assessing the physical properties of various pulps. It establishes the framework for producing laboratory sheets that accurately represent pulp characteristics, facilitating quality control, research, and product development in the pulp and paper industry.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Applicability:
    • Applicable to most pulp types except those with very long fibers like unshortened cotton or flax.
    • Not suitable for preparing sheets aimed at determining diffuse blue reflectance factor (ISO brightness).
  • Method Principle:
    • Formation of a laboratory sheet using a pulp suspension deposited on a wire screen under suction.
    • The sheet is pressed twice under 410 kPa pressure to achieve uniform dryness and consistency.
    • Drying occurs in controlled conditions with the sheet adhered to a drying plate to prevent shrinkage.
  • Equipment Specifications:
    • Sheet former comprising an upper stock container, a wire screen frame, and a drainage vessel ensuring uniform liquid flow.
    • A stirrer to maintain pulp suspension without fiber damage or swirling, optionally including air agitation systems.
    • Couching equipment for transferring the wet sheet, which may include weights, automated systems, or rolls with protection.
    • Blotters made of fully bleached, neutral pH pulp with defined absorbency properties to ensure effective moisture removal during pressing.
  • Sample Preparation & Procedure:
    • Standards for sample disintegration and beating are recommended for compatibility, such as the Valley beater or PFI mill methods (ISO 5264 series).
    • Detailed steps for sheet formation, transfer, pressing, drying, and conditioning ensure reproducibility across laboratories.

Applications

EN ISO 5269-1:2005 is widely used in:

  • Pulp Quality Assessment: To evaluate mechanical and physical properties such as strength, flexibility, and uniformity of pulp.
  • Research and Development: Enables development of new pulp blends or treatments by providing consistent testing samples.
  • Quality Control: Ensures pulp produced meets required performance standards for downstream papermaking processes.
  • Standardized Testing: Supports compliance with other paper and pulp standards by preparing test sheets in a uniform manner.

Related Standards

For integrated testing and enhanced precision, EN ISO 5269-1:2005 should be considered alongside:

  • ISO 5264-1 / ISO 5264-2: Laboratory beating methods (Valley beater and PFI mill) for pulp preparation.
  • ISO 5263 Series: Laboratory wet disintegration methods for pulp sample preparation.

Foreword
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
technical 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 with 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 International 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 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5269-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee SC 5,
Test methods and quality specifications for pulps.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5269-1:1998), of which the Introduction,
Clauses 1, 2, 5 and 7 and the Bibliography have been revised.

ISO 5269-1:2005(E)
Introduction
It has been agreed that the ultimate aim of standardization of the preparation of laboratory sheets should be to
develop one method which is internationally acceptable and which, if possible, permits the use of different
types of sheet-making apparatus.
For practical reasons, it has not proved possible to achieve this at present. Therefore, as an interim measure,
in view of the widespread use of equipment described in this part of ISO 5269, it has been decided to provide
agreed guidance on the use of different types of equipment in order to achieve consistency of results with
each method.
To avoid creating too many levels of results, the method specified in this part of ISO 5269 should preferably
be used with the Valley beater or PFI mill methods of laboratory beating according to ISO 5264-1 and
[2]
ISO 5264-2, respectively. The method specified in ISO 5269-2 (Rapid-Köthen method) should preferably be
used with the PFI mill method of laboratory beating according to ISO 5264-2.

Pulps — Preparation of laboratory sheets for physical testing —
Part 1:
Conventional sheet-former method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5269 specifies a method, using a conventional sheet former, for the preparation of laboratory
sheets of pulp for the purpose of carrying out subsequent physical tests on these sheets in order to assess the
relevant properties of the pulp itself.
This part of ISO 5269 is applicable to most kinds of pulp. It is not suitable for some pulps with very long fibres,
such as those made from unshortened cotton, flax and similar materials.
This method is not suitable for the preparation of laboratory sheets for the determination of diffuse blue
[1]
reflectance factor (ISO brightness) in accordance with ISO 3688 .
WARNING — When long-fibred pulp is used in the unshortened form, the sheet formation may not
always be satisfactory.

3 Principle
A circular, square or rectangular sheet is formed from a pulp suspension on a wire screen under suction. The
sheet is subjected twice to a pressure of 410 kPa. The sheet is dried in conditioned air and in contact with a
drying plate, to which it adheres so that it does not shrink.
4 Equipment
4.1 Sheet former, consisting of three main parts.
4.1.1 Upper section, comprising a stock container, with a mark located 350 mm ± 1 mm above a wire
screen (see 4.1.3). It is furnished with a rubber gasket to prevent leakage. The cross-section of the container
shall be circular, square or rectangular, and constant throughout the height. If the container is rectangular, the
shorter side shall be not less than 120 mm and the ratio of the longer to the shorter side shall not exceed 2,5.
If the container is circular, it shall be not less than 158 mm in diameter. It shall be of such height that water will
not splash over the edge when the stirrer (4.2) is operating.
4.1.2 Lower section, comprising a drainage vessel, consisting of an upper and a lower part. The upper part
shall have the same cross-section as the stock container (see 4.1.1), and its shape shall be such that the flow
of liquid through the wire screen is uniform over the whole area. The lower part may be of smaller cross-
section but shall be positioned symmetrically in relation to the upper part. The lower part shall be fitted with a
valve, which is connected to a draining pipe with a water seal at its lower end. The vertical distance from the
top of the wire screen to the overflow of the water seal shall be 800 mm ± 5 mm. The lower part and the
drainage valve shall be large enough to permit water in the stock container between the level mark and the
wire screen to empty within 4,0 s ± 0,2 s. The lower part of the drainage container shall be provided with a
water inlet tube. The design shall incorporate a means of releasing vacuum after the sheet has been formed.
4.1.3 Frame, with a perfectly flat, plain-woven metallic wire screen, to be placed horizontally between the
upper section (4.1.1) and the lower section (4.1.2). The screen shall be clean, undamaged and fitted without
wrinkles and corrugations. It shall have a nominal size of aperture of 125 µm, according to ISO 3310-1. The
preferred diameter of the wire shall be 90 µm with a permissible range between 77 µm and 104 µm. The wire
screen is backed by a coarser
