BS ISO 18522:2016 specifies the procedures for determining the cross direction profiles of physical
properties of paper and board using automated off-line testers. Where available for a given
measurement, the relevant International Standard is referred to. It is applicable to most kinds of paper
and board, but is not relevant for tissue and corrugated board.In this document, it is left to the paper and board producer and the customer to agree upon which
properties are relevant. The results are reported as mean values or as profiles across the machine.
Some properties are reported in index form.The result obtained using the relevant ISO standard based on stand-alone equipment is used in case of
challenge or dispute, if not otherwise agreed.NOTE 1 The results obtained using specimens conditioned according to ISO 187 and stand-alone test
instruments will, for some paper properties, differ from those obtained with unconditioned specimens and
automated off-line testers. An investigation was made to only a limited extent, where the automated off-line
testing was compared to stand-alone instruments, including the impact of conditioning. A summary of this
investigation is reported in Annex B.NOTE 2 It is also possible to evaluate properties in the machine direction (MD), but this is usually only used
for trouble-shooting.Cross References:ISO 186:2002ISO 187ISO 534ISO 536ISO 1924-2ISO 1924-3ISO 1974ISO 2469:2014ISO 2470-1ISO 2470-2ISO 2471ISO 2493-1ISO 2758ISO 2759ISO 5627ISO 5631-1ISO 5631-2ISO 5631-3ISO 5636-3ISO 5636-6ISO 8254-1ISO 8254-2ISO 8254-3ISO 8791-2ISO 8791-4ISO 9416ISO 9895ISO 11475ISO 11476ISO/TR 24498SCAN-P 26:78TAPPI T 1200 sp-07All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
