Pulps - Determination of saleable mass in lots - Part 3: Unitized bales

This document establishes specific technical requirements and guidelines for the uniform stacking of fiber cellulose during the bulk determination process. It defines the essential procedures necessary to ensure consistency and reliability when measuring large quantities of this raw material. The standard outlines precise methods for arranging bales or other forms of cellulose to minimize voids and maintain structural integrity throughout the measurement operation. By providing a unified approach to stacking, it facilitates accurate volume and mass calculations, which are critical for trade and quality control in the pulp and paper industry. The content covers practical instructions on layer arrangement, orientation, and compaction to achieve a standardized configuration. Adherence to these technical specifications helps eliminate variability caused by different stacking practices, thereby supporting fair measurement outcomes across various facilities and operational contexts. This guidance is designed to be applied universally wherever bulk fiber cellulose is handled and assessed for commercial or industrial purposes.
