Since paper has a continuous porous structure, it has the property of absorbing liquid and transmitting gas. Paper that makes the most of these characteristics is filter paper,
Blotting paper, recording paper, etc. can be mentioned, and any kind of paper uses this characteristic to a greater or lesser extent. For example, most modern printing methods utilize this porous structure.

Taking a photograph of printing by a laser printer as an example, as shown in FIG. 3, the printing is formed so that spherical toner (colored resin powder) is on the hole of the paper. In addition, the paper has a capillary structure when viewed microscopically, and it has been managed by measuring the average capillary diameter assuming that the pores are uniformly distributed in the paper. However, since this measuring method is performed by applying pressure such as sending air, there is a problem that the diameter of the capillary varies depending on the pressure. Also, as can be seen from FIG. 3, the pores are never evenly distributed on the paper. Therefore, it can be expected that such an average capillary diameter will differ from the actual value. Therefore, the conventional measurement method cannot accurately measure the porosity because it is assumed that the pores are uniformly distributed and the contact method is used for the measurement.

In FIG. 1, 13 is a transmittance measuring device having a source 3 for generating X-rays 4 on a recording sheet 2 arranged on a table 1 and a detection sensor 5 for detecting the intensity of the X-rays 4, and 7 is the recording.

With the obtained bulk density and the separately obtained true density, the porosity can be calculated by a predetermined relational expression. Since the non-contact method is used without assuming that the pores are uniformly distributed, and the contact method is not used, the porosity can be accurately obtained.

触で空隙率εを求めることができる。The MPU 10 calculates the bulk density from the transmittance and the thickness, and calculates the porosity from the bulk density and the true density separately obtained. The obtained porosity is displayed on the display device 12.
In addition, 13 shows a transmittance measuring device. Next, a measuring method for measuring the porosity will be described. The recording paper 2 is set on the table 1 on which the X-ray detection sensor 5 is installed by electrostatic force. Next, the X-ray 4 is applied to the recording paper 2 which is the object to be measured. At this time, the X-ray 4 travels straight and its transmittance follows Lambert-Beer's law. ln (It / Io) = − KρL (1) Here, ln (It / Io) is the transmittance, which can be read by the X-ray detection sensor installed on the table 1 for detecting the X-ray intensity. In addition, It is intensity before X-ray incidence, and Io is intensity after X-ray incidence. K is an extinction coefficient, which is a coefficient determined by the substance. ρ is the density of the recording paper 2 and is an unknown number. L is the thickness of the recording paper 2 and can be obtained by the laser displacement meter 7. That is, the density or thickness of the recording paper 2 is proportional to the transmittance of the X-ray 4. When the thickness L is calculated by the equation (1), the bulk density ρ is known, and conversely, when the bulk density ρ is known, the thickness L is calculated.
Can be asked. Further, the porosity ε, the true density ρ p, and the bulk density ρ have the relationship of the equation (2). ε = 1- (ρ / ρ p ) (2) Here, ρ p can be obtained by an auto pycnometer and is a physical property value determined by the recording paper 2. Therefore, since the bulk density ρ can be known from (1), the porosity ε can be obtained from the equation (2) without contact.

As a result, the quality control of the recording paper 2 can be performed accurately.
