On-Line Formation Measuements and Paper Quality, 1996 Papermakers Conference Proceedings
The quality of many paper and board products is highly dependent on formation, although this dependence is not always easy to quantify. This paper will briefly consider the relationship between a number of paper properties and formation. Both off-line and on-line formation measuring instruments will be reviewed, including some results of evaluations which have been performed at the Institute of Paper Science and Technology for the Measurement Technology Committee of the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA).
