What is BS 2924-1 - Determination of pH of paper, board, and pulp about?
pH is an important quantity that reflects the chemical conditions of a solution. The pH can control the availability of nutrients, biological functions, microbial activity, and the behaviour of chemicals.
BS 2924-1 is identical to ISO 6588. BS 2924-1 specifies a method for the determination of the pH of an aqueous extract of paper, board, or pulps. The pH value is not a quantitative measure of the total content of acid or base in the material extracted.
BS 2924-1 is applicable to all kinds of paper, board, and pulps yielding an extract having a conductivity exceeding 0.2 mS/m when determined in accordance with ISO 6587, except for papers used for electrical purposes.
Who is BS 2924-1 - Determination of pH of paper, board, and pulp for?
BS 2924-1 on determination of pH of paper, board, and pulp is useful for:
- The paper and board industry
- Paper mills
- Paper manufacturing companies
- Suppliers and manufacturers of paper, board, and pulps
- Laboratories for paper testing
- Paper researchers and developers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 2924-1 - Determination of pH of paper, board, and pulp?
In conservation and restoration, the pH of paper or board is an important parameter for assessing the condition of original documents or the ageing resistance of enveloping materials made of paper or board. The wrong pH of the solution is the main cause of lot many printings problems. The pH of a paper extract is usually considered one of the most reliable indices of the permanence of a paper.
BS 2924-1 provides you with methods of preparing cold or hot extracts of paper, board, and pulp for the determination of pH. BS 2924-1 guides you with the preparation of samples, determination of dry matter content, preparation of aqueous extract, determination of pH, and execution of test result expressions.
BS 2924-1 guidelines help you to access the accurate procedure to determine the pH value of paper, board, and pulps. Thus, BS 2924-1 helps to ensure and maintain the permanence of paper, board, and pulps.
