Measuring moisture gradients in cellulose fibre networks: An application of the magnetic resonance imaging method
A magnetic resonance imaging method was employed to measure moisture distributions in pulp samples. A calibration experiment shows that, in the range of moisture contents up to 1.4 g water/g dry substance, the MRI signal is linearly proportional to the mass of moisture of the pulp sample. The in-situ drying of a pulp sheet approximately 4 mm thick was them studied. The resolution in the thickness
