1 Scope
This document specifies an apparatus and the procedures for the laboratory wet disintegration
of mechanical pulps that exhibit latency except when brightness is measured. This apparatus and
procedure can be used for preparation of the test portion in other International Standards dealing with
pulps.
This document is applicable to all kind of mechanical pulps (i.e. mechanical, semi-chemical and chemi-
mechanical pulps) exhibiting latency.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements 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.
ISO 638-1, Paper, board, pulps and cellulosic nanomaterials — Determination of dry matter content by

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp

3.1
disintegration of mechanical pulp
mechanical treatment in water so that interlaced fibres, which were free in the pulp stock, are again
separated from one another without appreciably changing their structural properties
3.2
latency
condition of a mechanical pulp in which some of its properties are inhibited and require disintegration
of the pulp at elevated temperature to be developed
Note 1 to entry: Latency is due to the distorted form of the fibres acquired in mechanical processing, especially at
high consistency, and subsequently preserved upon cooling at high consistency. It is assumed that its preservation
is caused by the hardening of the lignin.
Note 2 to entry: The degree of latency in a pulp is generally related to the consistency and energy applied during
the mechanical processing.

latency removal
procedure using a combination of mechanical treatment, i.e. disintegration, and heat treatment using a
temperature exceeding the softening temperature of lignin
Note 1 to entry: In this document, the temperature for latency removal is stated to be not less than 85 °C.
4 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following shall be used.
4.1 Disintegrator with heat supply or hot-water supply capable of maintaining a temperature
of ≥85 °C in the suspension during the entire disintegration procedure. Use either the standard
disintegrator (4.1.1) or the circulation disintegrator (4.1.2).
Since the two types of disintegrator do not treat the fibres in the same way (see Reference [5]), the
disintegrator used shall be reported.
4.1.1 Standard disintegrator, in accordance with Annex A. For latency removal, the standard
disintegrator shall be equipped with an electrically heated container or shall have a supply of hot water,
capable of keeping the temperature of the fibre-water suspension at the temperature stated in 4.1.
The procedure for checking the standard disintegrator is given in Annex B.
For safety reasons, it is not recommended to use a standard disintegrator intended for disintegration at
20 °C and an electric hot plate for boiling water.
4.1.2 Circulation disintegrator, of Domtar type, in accordance with Annex C. The disintegrator shall
have a supply of water of a temperature of between 90 °C and 95 °C.
There shall be a means of running the pump for short intervals of time. To prevent damage to the pump,
the pump shall not be run dry for more than 3 s.
4.2 Balance, capable of weighing with an accuracy of 0,2 g.
4.3 Water, standard water, as specified in ISO 14487, distilled water or tap water, depending on the
requirement in the procedure for which the disintegrated pulp will be used.
5 Preparation of test portion
If the pulp is wet or air-dry, determine the dry matter content in accordance with ISO 638-1. If the pulp
is in slush form, determine the dry matter content in accordance with ISO 4119.
If the concentration of a slush pulp sample is less than 1,5 % by mass, thicken it to the appropriate
volume, carefully avoiding the loss

1 Scope
This part of ISO 5263 specifies an apparatus and the procedures for the laboratory wet disintegration
of mechanical pulps that exhibit latency. This apparatus and procedure are required for preparation of
the test portion in a number of other International Standards dealing with pulps.
ISO 5263-3 is applicable to all kind of mechanical pulps (i.e. mechanical, semi-chemical and chemi-
mechanical pulps) exhibiting latency. Mechanical pulps not exhibiting latency shall be disintegrated
according to ISO 5263-2.
The procedure specified in ISO 5263-2 should be used to disintegrate all mechanical pulps to be
measured for brightness.
NOTE Brightness is not significantly altered by the presence of latency; however, hot disintegration of
mechanical pulps can lead to significant loss of brightness.

4 Apparatus
Ordinary laboratory apparatus and the following:
4.1 Disintegrator with heat supply or hot-water supply capable of maintaining a temperature of ≥ 85
°C in the suspension during the entire disintegration procedure. Use either the Standard disintegrator
(4.1.1) or the Circulation disintegrator (4.1.2).
Since the two types of disintegrator do not treat the fibres in the same way (see [6]), the disintegrator
used must be reported.
4.1.1 Standard disintegrator, constructed as described in Annex A. For latency removal, the Standard
disintegrator shall be equipped with an electrically heated container or shall have a supply of hot water,
capable of keeping the temperature of the fibre-water suspension at the temperature stated in 4.1.
NOTE 1 The procedure for checking the Standard disintegrator is given in Annex B.
NOTE 2 For safety reasons, it is not recommended to use a Standard disintegrator intended for disintegration
at 20 °C and an electric hot plate for boiling water.
4.1.2 Circulation disintegrator, of Domtar type, constructed as described in Annex C. The disintegrator
shall have a supply of water of a temperature of between 90 °C and 95 °C.
There must be a means of running the pump for short intervals of time. To prevent damage to the pump,
the pump must not run dry for more than 3 s.
4.2 Balance, capable of weighing with an accuracy of 0,2 g.
4.3 Standard water, for physical testing, as specified in ISO 14487.Type text.
5 Preparation of test portion
If the pulp is wet or air-dry, determine the dry matter content in accordance with ISO 638 -1. If the pulp
is in slush form, determine the dry matter content in accordance with ISO 4119.
If the concentration of a slush pulp sample is less than 1,5 % by mass, thicken it to the appropriate
volume, carefully avoiding the loss of fines. This is most easily done by sedimentation of the suspension
and removing a part of the water phase or by dewatering through a filter paper on a Büchner funnel.
Use standard water (4.3) for disintegrating pulps to be used in tests where drainability properties are
of importance. In all cases, use water of the same quality as required in the procedure for which the
pulp is disintegrated.

For the Standard disintegrator (4.1.1), take a test portion corresponding to a mass of (50 ± 5) g of oven-
dry pulp. For the Circulation disintegrator (4.1.2), take a test portion corresponding to a mass of (56 ±
1) g of oven-dry pulp. If the sample is in sheet-form, do not cut the sheets and avoid taking cut edges.
If the dry matter comprises 20 % or more of the sample, soak the test portion in 1 l to 1,5 l of
water (standard water or other) at (20 ± 5) °C for at least the minimum soaking time specified
in Table 1. If the pulp is in the form of sheets or slabs, after soaking tear the sample into pieces of
dimensions approximately 25 mm x 25 mm. Soaking for a time longer than the minimum specified, for
example overnight, has been found not to have any significant effect on the results. The soaking time
shall, however, never be longer than 24 h for any pulp grade.
NOTE Flash-dried mechanical pulp needs to be soaked for a minimum of 10 min.
