该方法适用于未涂布纸和涂布纸，旨在测量纸张的表面强度或其耐拾取性。它不适用于松散的毡纸，如吸墨纸或屋顶毡，也不适用于含有热软化材料（如蜡或乳胶类添加剂）的纸。在脱蜡步骤中，缺乏硬度的轻质纸可能会滑到挡块下，不适合通过该程序进行测试。

This method, applicable to uncoated and coated papers, is designed to measure the surface strength of paper or its resistance to picking. It is not applicable to loosely felted papers such as blotters or roofing felts, nor to papers containing materials that soften with heat such as waxes or latex type additives. Light weight papers that lack stiffness may slip under the block during the wax removal step are not suitable for testing by this procedure.
