Method for Evaluating Thickness of Wet Press Fabrics, Technical Information Paper TIP 0404-28 (2017)
A method is described for measuring press fabric thickness using a hand-held caliper gauge. It is used for large fabrics installed on a paper machine or for smaller laboratory samples. For other characterizations of wet press fabrics refer to:
- TIP 0404-20 “Physical Characterization of Press Fabrics”
- TIP 0404-29 “Porosity Measurements of Press Felts on the Paper Machine (HSPT)”
- TIP 0404-32 “Felt Uniformity Impression Method” (withdrawn in 1998)
