Paper and board - Determination of thickness, density and specific volume (ISO 534:2005)

ISO 534:2005 specifies two methods for measuring the thickness of paper and board:
a) the measurement of a single sheet of paper or board, as a single sheet thickness,
b) the measurement of a pack of sheets of paper as a bulking thickness.
It also specifies the following calculation methods, from the thickness determinations:
calculation methods for the apparent sheet density and for the apparent bulk density;
calculation methods for the apparent specific sheet volume and for the apparent specific bulk volume.
It is not applicable to corrugated fibreboard, and method a) is not applicable to materials with a grammage higher than 225 g/m2.

Papier und Pappe - Bestimmung der Dicke, der Dichte und des spezifischen Volumens (ISO 534:2005)

Diese Internationale Norm legt zwei Verfahren zur Messung der Dicke von Papier und Pappe fest:
a)   Messung eines Einzelblattes von Papier oder Pappe als Einzelblattdicke;
b)   Messung eines Stapels von Papierblättern mit der mittleren Dicke eines Einzelblattes.
Abgeleitet aus der Bestimmung der Dicke legt sie ferner Berechnungsverfahren fest für:
-   die scheinbare Blattdichte und die scheinbare Stapeldichte und-
-   das scheinbare spezifische Volumen des Blattes und das scheinbare spezifische Volumen des Stapels.
Diese Internationale Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf Wellpappe. Verfahren a) ist für Materialien mit einer flächenbezogenen Masse von mehr als 225 g/m2 nicht geeignet.
ANMERKUNG 1   Im Allgemeinen führen diese beiden Verfahren zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen.
ANMERKUNG 2   Für Tissue-Papier und Tissue-Produkte sollte ISO 12625-3 angewendet werden.

a) le mesurage sur une feuille unique de papier ou de carton, exprimé par l'épaisseur d'une feuille unique;
b) le mesurage sur une liasse de feuilles de papier, exprimé par l'épaisseur moyenne d'une feuille en liasse.
Elle spécifie en outre des méthodes de calcul, à partir des déterminations de l'épaisseur,
de la masse volumique apparente d'une feuille unique et de la masse volumique apparente d'une feuille en liasse, ainsi que
du volume apparent spécifique d'une feuille unique et du volume apparent spécifique d'une feuille en liasse.

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 534 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee SC 2, Test
methods and quality specifications for paper and board.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 534:1988), which has been technically revised
and where the major revision is the introduction of the concept of specific volume.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 534:2005(E)

Paper and board — Determination of thickness, density and
specific volume
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies two methods for measuring the thickness of paper and board:
a) the measurement of a single sheet of paper or board as a single sheet thickness;
b) the measurement of a pack of sheets of paper as a bulking thickness.
It also specifies calculation methods
 for the apparent sheet density and for the apparent bulk density, and
 for the apparent specific sheet volume and for the apparent specific bulk volume
from the thickness determinations.
This International Standard is not applicable to corrugated fibreboard. In addition, method a) is not suitable for
2
materials with a grammage higher than 225 g/m .
NOTE 1 The two methods generally lead to different results.
NOTE 2 For tissue paper and tissue products, ISO 12625-3 should be used.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Principle
4.1 Measurement of the single sheet thickness (3.1) or of the bulking thickness (3.2), according to the
test requirements, by means of a high-precision micrometer.
4.2 Calculation of the apparent sheet density (3.3) or apparent bulk density (3.4) of the paper or board,
from a knowledge of its grammage and thickness.

5 Apparatus
5.1 Dead-weight micrometer, provided with two plane, parallel, circular pressure faces, between which the
paper or board is placed for measurement.
The preferred pressure exerted between the pressure faces during the thickness measurement shall be
(100 ± 10) kPa. As an alternative pressure, (50 ± 5) kPa is also permitted.
The two pressure faces shall form an integral part of the micrometer, such that one face is fixed (the anvil) and
the other is movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the fixed face.
One face shall be (16,0 ± 0,5) mm in diameter and the second face shall be of such a size that it is in contact
with the whole area of the other face when the micrometer reads zero. Thus, a circular region of a test piece,
2
nominally 200 mm in area, is subjected during the thickness measurement to the pressure exerted between
the faces.
The performance requirements of the micrometer shall be such that, when calibrated according to the method
given in Annex A, the micrometer complies with the required pressure of (100 ± 10) kPa, alternatively
(50 ± 5) kPa, and the performance requirements as shown in Table 1 (see also 9.1).
Table 1 — Micrometer performance requirements
a
Micrometer characteristics
Maximum permitted value
Indication error ± 2,5 µm or ± 0,5 % of the reading
Error of parallelism between pressure faces 5 µm or 1 %
Repeatability of measurement (as standard 1,2 µm or 0,5 %
deviation)
NOTE Where a tolerance is expressed in the form of a percentage, it is based upon the thickness of the
test piece under test. Thus, it is possible for a given micrometer to comply with the requirements of this table for
some materials, but not for others.
a
The maximum permitted value of a micrometer characteristic is the greater of the two values.

5.2 Thickness gauges, corresponding to approximately 10 %, 30 %, 50 %, 70 % and 90 % of the full-scale
reading of the micrometer. The thickness of each gauge shall be known to an accuracy of 0,3 µm.
6 Sampling
If the tests are made to evaluate a lot, select the sample in accordance with ISO 186. If the tests are made on
another type of sample, make sure that the test pieces taken are representative of the sample received.
7 Conditioning
Condition the sample in accordance with ISO 187.
8 Preparations of test pieces
8.1 General
Prepare the test pieces in the same standard atmospheric conditions as used to condition the sample. Avoid
areas with folds, creases, cracks or other defects which could influence the results.

8.2 Single sheet thickness
Cut not more than two test pieces from each specimen taken at random from the sample available, with
minimum dimensions 60 mm × 60 mm. Ensure that the test piece dimensions are not so large that the
micrometer reading is affected by the test piece mass that overhangs the lower pressure face while a
measurement is being made. When measuring board, do not use test pieces with dimensions exceeding
100 mm × 100 mm. These test piece dimensions are usually satisfactory for making measurements on paper.
Prepare at least 20 test pieces.
8.3 Bulking thickness
Cut sheets at random from the sample available, preferably having dimensions 200 mm × 250 mm, the
200 mm dimension being in the machine direction (see Figure 1). If this is not possible, prepare smaller
sheets of at least 150 mm × 150 mm.
Make up a pack of sheets to form the test piece and make sure that all the sheets are oriented in the same
way. Each sheet shall
