PCT No. PCT/SE91/00642 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 24, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 24, 1992 PCT Filed Sep. 25, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/05423 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 2, 1992.A method for measuring the flexibility of fibers, particularly cellulose fibres, in a flowing suspension. The fibre form of a large number of fibres is registered at two different pictures of suspension flow. A predefined fibre form is calculated for each flow picture, and a relationship, for example the quotient between two measurements of mean fibre form is determined and utilized to define fibre flexibility. The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the inventive method, wherein the arrangement includes a flow-through container (20) through which the suspension flows, a transparent window (26) mounted in the container wall, a CCD-type camera (30) which functions to photograph fibres passing the window, a picture analysis unit (34) coupled to the camera (30), and a data processing unit (36) for processing information obtained from the picture analysis unit (34).
