SIST ISO 6587:1996 - Paper, board and pulps -- Determination of conductivity of aqueous extracts - Effective Date
- 01-Jul-2023
Overview
SIST ISO 6587:2023 specifies a standardized method for determining the conductivity of aqueous extracts from paper, board, and pulp products. This test method involves preparing extracts using hot or cold extraction techniques and measuring their conductivity at 25 °C with a conductivity meter or resistance bridge. The standard is applicable to all types of paper, board, and pulps, except for papers intended for electrical purposes, which require a different testing approach such as that described in EN 60554-2. This method provides critical data on the residual ionic impurities present in cellulose-based materials.
Measuring the conductivity of aqueous extracts is important for the pulp and paper industry to assess raw material quality and evaluate the effectiveness of washing and purification processes during manufacturing. The method ensures reliable and reproducible results that support quality control, compliance with product specifications, and process optimization.
Key Topics
Sample Preparation: The method requires careful sampling according to ISO 186 for paper and board or ISO 7213 for pulp. Samples must be prepared in clean environments using gloves to prevent contamination and cut into uniform pieces before extraction.
Extraction Methods:
- Hot extraction: Samples are boiled gently with distilled or deionized water using a reflux condenser for 1 hour.
- Cold extraction: Samples are soaked at room temperature for 1 hour with occasional shaking.
Conductivity Measurement: The conductivity of the extract is measured at 25 °C after adjusting its temperature in a controlled bath. A conductivity meter or resistance bridge equipped with a platinum electrode cell is used to obtain precise results. The method accounts for blank tests to ensure accuracy.
Calibration and Calculation: The cell constant must be determined using standard potassium chloride (KCl) solutions of known concentration. Conductivity is calculated either from conductance or resistance measurements based on formulas presented in the standard to derive final results in millisiemens per meter (mS/m).
Result Reporting: The average conductivity from duplicate extracts is reported with defined tolerance limits to ensure repeatability. The test report includes details of sampling, sample preparation, extraction method, and measurement conditions.
Applications
Quality Control in Paper and Board Production: Monitoring ionic impurities helps manufacturers maintain consistent raw material and product properties, optimizing washing and chemical treatment processes.
Pulp Manufacturing: Conductivity measurement assists in assessing washing efficacy during pulp processing to minimize residual chemicals that can affect pulp quality.
Environmental Monitoring: Detecting ionic contaminants released from paper and pulp products can inform the assessment of environmental impact and compliance with regulatory limits.
Research and Development: Enables innovation in papermaking by providing a reliable method for evaluating the effects of process modifications on chemical purity and fiber quality.
Related Standards
- ISO 186: Sampling procedures for paper and board to ensure representative testing materials.
- ISO 287 & ISO 638-1: Methods for determining moisture and dry matter content in paper, board, and pulps-critical for accurate basis weight and extract concentration calculations.
- ISO 7213: Sampling protocols for pulp products.
- EN 60554-2: Conductivity determination method specifically for high purity papers used in electrical applications, applicable when ISO 6587 is not suitable.
Summary
SIST ISO 6587:2023 provides a robust and internationally recognized method for evaluating the conductivity of aqueous extracts from paper, board, and pulp materials. Its focus on sample preparation, precise measurement conditions, and stringent calibration ensures dependable data that is valuable for quality assurance and process control in the pulp and paper industries. By following this standard, organizations can systematically monitor ion concentrations, optimize manufacturing steps, and comply with quality specifications effectively.
