DIN EN ISO 534:2012

Paper and board - Determination of thickness, density and specific volume (ISO 534:2011); German version EN ISO 534:2011

This document specifies two methods for measuring the thickness of paper and board: a) the measurement of a single sheet of paper or board as a single sheet thickness; b) the measurement of a pack of sheets of paper as a bulking thickness. This document also specifies calculation methods - for the apparent sheet density and for the apparent bulk density, and - for the apparent specific sheet volume and for the apparent specific bulk volume from the thickness determiantions. This document is not applicable to corrugated fibreboard.In addition, the measurement of bulking thickness, method b) above, is not suitable for board.*This document (EN ISO 534:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 6 "Paper, board and pulps" (secretariat: SCC, Canada), in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 172 "Pulp, paper and board", the secretariat of which is held by the Paper, Board and Pulp Standards Committee (NPa) at DIN (Germany). During the preparation of this European Standard, Working Committee NA 074-01-14 AA "Papier, Karton, Vollpapier und Wellpappe für Verpackungen" ("Paper, board, solid board and corrugated fibreboard for packaging") in its capacity as Mirror Committee has significantly collaborated.
