Common Physical Tests for Paper and Board
Online Course Description:
Depending on the grade and end use, different tests are performed to assess the quality of the paper or board being produced on a machine. Physical tests assess physical properties of the sheet, such as density, thickness, and different kinds of strength. Common physical tests include basis weight or grammage, moisture content, caliper, density, bulk, smoothness, porosity, stiffness, tensile strength, burst strength, tear strength, and folding endurance.
This module will introduce some common physical tests, followed by a discussion on the importance of sample collection and conditioning, sheet formation, and moisture content.
