AS 1301.457:2020 PDF

This document specifies a test method for determining moisture content in paper, board and pulps.

This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee PK-019, Methods of Test for Pulp and Paper, to supersede AS/NZS 1301.457s:2006, Methods of test for pulp and paper, Method 457s: Determination of moisture content in paper, board and pulps.

After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.

The objective of this Standard is to provide a defined procedure for determining moisture content of paper and board products and pulps, which recognizes some specific properties of such materials. In particular, this Standard is suitable for determining the moisture content of a lot.
