Measurements of pulp drainage are known as freeness, slowness, wetness, or drain time according to the instrument or method used. If a pulp drains rapidly, it is said to be "free". If it drains slowly, it is said to be "slow". Freeness and slowness scales have an inverse relationship. The Schopper-Riegler slowness tester is the principal laboratory drainage testing device used in Europe. 1, record 1, English, - Schopper%2DRiegler%20slowness%20tester

Selon la technique utilisée, l'égouttabilité de la pâte est caractérisée par le degré de raffinage, la résistance à l'égouttage, le degré d'hydratation ou le temps d'égouttage. Une pâte qui s'égoutte rapidement est dite «maigre»; si elle s'égoutte difficilement, la pâte est dite «grasse». En Europe, on utilise surtout l'appareil Schopper Riegler qui permet de déterminer la résistance à l'égouttage de la pâte. 1, record 1, French, - appareil%20Schopper%20Riegler

The resistance of a fiber mat to the flow of water is an important property with respect to pulp processing and papermaking. The classical method of determining this property in North America is by means of the Canadian Standard Freeness(CSF) tester as illustrated in Figure 22-2. The CSF is defined as the number of milliliters of water collected from the side orifice of the standard tester when a pulp suspension drains through the screen plate at 0. 30% consistency and 20°C. 1, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Standard%20Freeness%20tester

Égouttabilité. La résistance opposée par les fibres à l'écoulement de l'eau est une propriété importante pour les procédés de mise en pâte et de fabrication du papier. On détermine d'ordinaire cette propriété en Amérique du Nord au moyen de l'appareil canadien normalisé de mesure de l'égouttabilité, le «Canadian Standard Freeness tester» (CSF). L'indice CSF d'égouttabilité de la pâte est le nombre de millilitres d'eau qui passent à travers l'orifice latéral de l'appareil quand la préparation de suspension, diluée à 0,3 % de concentration, à 20°C, s'égoutte sur une plaque perforée. Ce volume d'eau est recueilli dans une éprouvette spéciale. 1, record 2, French, - appareil%20canadien%20normalis%C3%A9%20de%20mesure%20de%20l%27%C3%A9gouttabilit%C3%A9
