ISO INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 9184-6 First edition 1994-08-01 Paper, board and pulps - Fibre furnish analysis Part 6: Determination of fibre coarseness Papier, carton et pates -- Détermination de la composition fibreuse - Partie 6: Détermination de la masse lineique des fibres ISO Reference number ISO 9184-6:1994(E) ISO 9184-6:1994(E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
