Method for predicting properties of a product of cellulose-fibre-based pulp, paper or paperboard, wherein a suspension of cellulose fibre is subjected to analysis, during manufacture of the product, by spectroscopic measurements of a sample quantity of the suspension, in a spectrum in the wavelength range 200 2500 nm. The method comprises diluting each sample quantity prior to analysis, dewatering and drying one partial flow and subjecting that partial flow to spectroscopic measurements, and analyzing a second partial flow of the diluted sample quantity for physical fiber data, by means of image analysis. Each sample quantity analyzed generates at least 100 data points from the spectroscopic measurement distributed in the selected spectrum, and at least 50 data points with regard to the physical fibre data, in the form of one or more physical fibre property distributions with regard to at least one physical property selected from fibre length, fibre width and fibre shape. The data points are combined in multivariate data processing for prediction of properties of the product, on the basis of calibrations previously executed on samples with known properties. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention claimed is: 1. Method for predicting properties of a product that consists of cellulose-fibre-based pulp, paper or paperboard, wherein a suspension of cellulose fibre is subjected to analysis during manufacture of the product by spectroscopic measurements of a sample quantity of said suspension in a selected spectrum in the wavelength range 200 25000 nm, said method comprising: diluting each sample quantity prior to said analysis; dewatering and drying a first partial flow; subjecting said first partial flow to spectroscopic measurements in a selected spectrum in the wavelength range 200 25000 nm; analyzing a second partial flow of the diluted sample quantity for physical fibre data, by means of image analysis; each sample quantity analysed generating at least 100 data points from the spectroscopic measurements distributed in said selected spectrum, and at least 50 data points with regard to said physical fibre data, in the form of one or more physical fibre property distributions with regard to at least one physical property in the group consisting of fibre length, fibre width and fibre shape, which total of at least 150 data points are combined in multivariate data processing, for prediction of physical properties of said product, on the basis of calibrations previously executed that were carried out on samples with known physical properties. 2. Method according to claim 1, wherein said sample quantity of said suspension is extracted for analysis at-line or on-line in a process line for said manufacture of the product at least once every two hours. 3. Method according to claim 2, wherein said sample quantity suspension is extracted at least once per hour. 4. Method according to claim 2, wherein said sample quantity suspension is extracted at least four times per hour. 5. Method according to claim 2, wherein said sample quantity is extracted in a process line for pulp production. 6. Method according to claim 5, wherein said calibrations comprise calibrations against pulp samples that have been beaten with a number of different energy inputs, said prediction giving a measure of the product attributes that it is possible to achieve with one or more given energy inputs
