Describes a method for determining the roughness of paper and board using the Bendtsen apparatus. Applicable to paper and board which have Bendtsen roughness values between about 50 ml/min and 1200 ml/min. Not suitable for soft papers which allow the land to make a significant impression on the surface or for high air permeance papers which allow a significant flow of air to pass through the sheet, or for papers which will not lie flat under the heavy metal annulus. Covers normative references, definition, principle, apparatus, sampling, conditioning, preparation of test pieces, procedure, expression of results and test report.
