Determination of Pulp Viscosity

Determination of the viscosity in pulp is an important parameter to control the bleaching process.

The standard method to measure the limiting viscosity viscosity number of pulp is to determine the efflux time of a pulp/CED solution through a capillary tube. Manual measurements and calculations are time consuming, inaccurate and expose the operator to hazardous chemicals. Our Viscomat II implements precision and automatic measurements of pulp viscosity according to the standard SCAN-CM 15 and ISO 5351 test methods.
