Paper, board, pulps and cellulosic nanomaterials - Determination of dry matter content by oven-drying method - Part 2: Suspensions of cellulosic nanomaterials (ISO 638-2:2021)

This document specifies an oven-drying method for the determination of the dry matter content
in suspensions of cellulosic nanomaterials. The procedure is applicable to cellulosic nanomaterial
suspensions which do not contain any appreciable quantities of materials other than water that are
volatile at the temperature of 105 °C ± 2 °C. It is used, for example, in the case of cellulosic nanomaterial
suspensions samples taken for chemical and physical tests in the laboratory, when a concurrent
determination of dry matter content is required.
NOTE 1 ISO 638-1[1] specifies the dry matter content in paper, board, pulp and cellulosic nanomaterials in solid
form, which all can be produced from virgin and/or recycled materials; ISO 287[2] specifies the determination of
moisture content of a lot of paper and board; ISO 4119[3] specifies the determination of stock concentration of
aqueous pulp suspensions; ISO 801 (all parts)[4] specifies the determination of saleable mass in lots.
NOTE 2 This document determines the total dry matter content of the sample, including any dissolved solids.
If only the cellulosic material content free of dissolved solids is desired, dissolved solids are removed prior to
measuring the dry matter content e.g. by washing or dialysis, taking care to retain all cellulosic material.

Papier, Pappe, Faserstoff und cellulosehaltige Nanomaterialien - Bestimmung des Trockengehaltes durch das Wärmeschrankverfahren - Teil 2: Suspensionen von cellulosehaltigen Nanomaterialien (ISO 638-2:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Wärmeschrankverfahren für die Bestimmung des Trockengehaltes in Suspensionen von cellulosehaltigen Nanomaterialien fest. Das Verfahren ist anzuwenden für Suspensionen von cellulosehaltigen Nanomaterialien, die außer Wasser keine nennenswerten Mengen von Materialien enthalten, die bei einer Temperatur von 105 °C ± 2 °C flüchtig sind. Es wird z. B. im Fall von Durchschnittsproben aus Suspensionen von cellulosehaltigen Nanomaterialien verwendet, die für chemische und physikalische Prüfungen im Laboratorium entnommen werden, wenn eine gleichzeitige Bestimmung des Trockengehaltes erforderlich ist.
ANMERKUNG 1 ISO 638-1 [1] legt den Gesamttrockengehalt von Papier, Pappe, Papier und Pappe für das Recycling und von cellulosehaltigen Nanomaterialien in fester Form fest. ISO 287 [2] legt die Bestimmung des Feuchtegehaltes in einem Lieferposten Papier oder Pappe fest. ISO 4119 [3] legt die Bestimmung der Stoffdichte wässriger Faserstoff-Suspensionen fest. ISO 801 (alle Teile) [4] legt die Bestimmung des Handelsgewichtes von Lieferposten fest.
ANMERKUNG 2 Dieses Dokument dient der Bestimmung des Gesamttrockengehaltes der Durchschnittsprobe einschließlich jeglicher gelöster Feststoffe. Wird nur der Gehalt an cellulosehaltigem Material ohne die gelösten Feststoffe gewünscht, sollten gelöste Feststoffe vor der Messung des Trockengehaltes z. B. durch Waschen oder Dialyse entfernt werden, wobei darauf zu achten ist, dass das gesamte cellulosehaltige Material erhalten bleibt.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode par séchage à l'étuve pour la détermination de la teneur en matières sèches dans des suspensions de nanomatériaux cellulosiques. La méthode est applicable aux suspensions de nanomatériaux cellulosiques ne contenant pas des quantités appréciables de matières autres que l'eau, volatiles à la température de 105 °C ± 2 °C. Elle est utilisée, par exemple, dans le cas d'échantillons de suspensions de nanomatériaux cellulosiques prélevés en vue d'analyses chimiques et d’essais physiques effectués en laboratoire lorsqu'il faut procéder à la détermination simultanée de la teneur en matières sèches.
NOTE 1   L’ISO 638-1[1] spécifie la teneur en matières sèches dans le papier, le carton, la pâte et les nanomatériaux cellulosiques sous forme solide, produits à partir de matériaux vierges et/ou recyclés, l’ISO 287[2] spécifie la méthode de détermination de la teneur en humidité d’un lot de papier et carton, l’ISO 4119[3] spécifie la méthode de détermination de la concentration en pâte de suspensions aqueuses de pâtes, l’ISO 801 (toutes les parties)[4] spécifie la méthode de détermination de la masse marchande des lots.
NOTE 2   Le présent document permet de déterminer la teneur totale en matières sèches d’un échantillon, y compris tout solide dissous. Pour obtenir la teneur en matériaux cellulosiques sans solides dissous, ces derniers sont éliminés avant de mesurer la teneur en matières sèches, par exemple par lavage ou dialyse, en prenant soin de conserver l'ensemble des matériaux cellulosiques.

Introduction
Determination of dry matter content and water content are carried out for different purposes.
This document is used when the dry matter content is needed to calculate the results for chemical
analysis or physical testing, or to determine the water content of cellulosic nanomaterial suspensions.
[1]
ISO 638-1 is dedicated to the determination of the dry matter content or moisture content in paper,
board, pulp and cellulosic nanomaterials in solid form, which all may be produced from virgin and/or
recycled materials.
[2]
ISO 287 is used for the purpose of determining the average moisture content and the variation in
moisture content (maximum and minimum values) of a lot of paper and board. In the converting of
paper and board, moisture content is important as it can have an effect on processes such as printing
and copying. Moisture content can have an effect on curl and dimensional stability.
[3]
ISO 4119 is used in laboratory procedures or is referred to in other International Standards in which
the stock concentration of an aqueous pulp suspension requires determination.

3.1
cellulosic nanomaterial
CNM
material composed predominantly of cellulose, with any external dimension in the nanoscale (3.5), or a
material having internal structure or surface structure in the nanoscale, with the internal structure or
surface structure composed predominantly of cellulose
Note 1 to entry: The terms nanocellulose (NC) and cellulose nanomaterial (CNM) are alternative terms for
cellulosic nanomaterial (CNM).
Note 2 to entry: Some cellulosic nanomaterials can be composed of chemically modified cellulose.

3.2
constant mass

mass reached by a container after drying until the difference between two successive dryings and
weighings does not exceed a specified mass fraction of the test specimen after drying
3.3
constant mass

mass reached by a test specimen after drying until the difference between two successive dryings and
weighings, separated in time by at least half the initial drying period, does not exceed a specified mass
fraction of the test specimen after drying
3.4
dry matter content
ratio of the mass of a test specimen, after drying to constant mass at a temperature of 105 °C ± 2 °C
under specified conditions, to its mass before drying
Note 1 to entry: The dry matter content is usually expressed as a percentage mass fraction.
3.5
nanoscale
length range approximately from 1 nm to 100 nm
