A Freeness Tester measures the drainage rate of a diluted paper pulp suspension, providing a measurable index of the refining degree of pulps. Tracking this measurement is a routine operation during beating and refining.

The surface conditions and swelling of the fibers in the pulp are measured indirectly, as they affect the drainage rate.

The Pneumatic Canadian Standard Freeness Tester (CF-21) is a widely used tool designed to give a measure of the drainability of a pulp suspension in water. The measured values are reported as Freeness of Pulp, Canadian Standard Method.

(edit this quote) Treatments which produce a large proportion of fines may sometimes cause an anomalous rise of freeness (falsefreeness) usually at values below 100 mL. Freeness values do not necessarily correlate with the drainage behavior ofpulp material on a commercial paper machine
