Abstract

In this report, two softwood kraft pulps, one originating from chips and the other from sawdust, and a hardwood kraft pulp originating from chips were fractionated individually with regard to fibre length using a Bauer-McNett apparatus. The fibre length, the coarseness, the 0.5% viscosity and the intrinsic viscosity were measured on all fractions and whole pulps. For every pulp, there was a unique positive relation between fibre length and viscosity, and also between fibre length and coarseness. Since fibre length has a direct impact on pulp strength, viscosity measurement can provide an indirect method to predict pulp strength. This relationship between the two datasets increases the value of viscosity as an analytical tool.
