ISO 6588-1:2020 pdf download.Paper, board and pulps — Determination of pH of aqueous extracts — Part 1: Cold extraction
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the pH-value defined by the electrolytes extractable by cold water from a sample of paper, board or pulp. This document is applicable to all types of paper, board and pulp. As the quantity of extractable ionic material approaches zero, as in the case of highly purified pulps, the precision of the method becomes poor because of the difficulties encountered in making pH measurements on water containing little electrolytic material. Since the extraction in this document is performed with distilled or deionised water, the pH-value measured will sometimes be different (e.g. for fully bleached pulp) from the pH-value measured under mill process conditions in which various types of process waters, e.g. chemically treated river water containing electrolytes, are used. In such cases, ISO 29681 should be used instead, as it is specifically applicable to bleached pulps from virgin fibres and to pulp samples having a low ionic strength for which the pH value will give more realistic results related to mill conditions than those obtained with this document. For cellulosic papers used for electrical purposes, the method used should be that given in IEC 60554-2 [4] .

4 Principle
Extraction of a sample of 2 g for 1 h with 100 ml of cold water of high purity. Filtration of the extract and addition of a salt solution. Measurement of the pH-value of the extract at a temperature between 20 °C and 25 °C.
5 Reagents
5.1 Water, distilled or deionised water shall be used throughout the test. The conductivity of the water shall not exceed 0,1 mS/m, after boiling for 1 h and cooling in an acid-free atmosphere (e.g. free of CO 2 , SO 2 , H 2 S) to a temperature between 20 °C and 25 °C. The pH of the water should be in the range of 6,8 to 7,3. Instructions for the determination of conductivity are specified in ISO 3696.
