Potential Application of Predictive Tensile Strength Models in Paper Manufacture: Part 1 - Development of a Predictive Tensile Strength Model from the Page..., 2001 Papermakers Conference Proceedings
Future developments of advanced wet end chemistry process control strategies will require the use of reliable models of the relevant phenomena. Among these will models that relate various paper properties to wet end chemistry variables. This research project describes such a development. In the research described herein a new tensile strength model derived from the Page Equation was developed. Factors related to refining, dry strength additives and filler levels were incorporated in the model. One advantage of the model is that it contains two adjustable constants which can be used to customize the model for a given machine system. The model was found to provide good tensile strength predictions for paper produced on the Miami University pilot paper machine.
