This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the dry matter content of pulp samples.
This method is applicable to moist or air-dry pulp which does not contain any appreciable quantity of matter, other than water, volatile at the temperature specified for the drying. It is used, for example, with pulp samples taken for chemical and physical tests in the laboratory, which require concurrent determination of dry matter content.
This method is not applicable to the determination of the dry matter content of slush pulp or to the determination of the saleable mass of pulp lots.
