The need for a Paper Thickness Micrometer

Clients do not always have clear concepts about paper weight, thickness and hand. This means that, when carrying out a project in graphic arts, errors can be incurred that can be quite expensive.Some people think that, using a thinner paper, they will make the weight of a magazine, for example, lower. 

Then commission their publication with glossy paper, which is very thin. However, when they are going to transport the magazines they are surprised: their weight is as high as if they had been printed on folio paper.

Therefore, it is important to learn to distinguish all these concepts well. One thing is the grammage and another thickness. 

What is the weight of a paper?

The grammage of a folio is defined as the weight of one square meter of that element. So, if it is stated that a certain paper has a grammage of 120 grams, it means that the weight of one square meter of that paper is 120 grams.Paper Thickness Micrometer play important role in it.





To calculate the weight of a folio manually, take a piece of that paper and apply a simple rule of three. The first thing is to find the area of the piece of paper that is weighed. Only the length must be multiplied by the width.

The thickness of the paper is the distance between the two sides of the sheet. It is almost always a tiny measure. If the view of a sheet of paper is magnified hundreds of times, it will be observed that it consists of several layers or fibers.




It is important to note that two papers of different thickness can have the same weight, that is, the same folio weight. Somerville is TYPE of machine that is used for determining the sieve content in ground wood pulp.

Paper Testing and Core Compression Process

Image
Core Compression Tester is an instrument used for testing the core collapsing strength. It has adjustable testing area to accommodate specimen of all sizes and shapes. Motor operated piston apply uniform pressure to crush the test sample. They have the maximum peak crush value recorded on digital load indicator. It is required to fulfill the basic need of quality control and development for manufacturers and users of Cone/ Core. An electronic instrument to measure and directly indicate the Compression Strength of Cone or Core. The core compression strength of core pipes is the maximum compressive force that a test piece collapses under constant load. Pneumatically operated piston apply the pressure. Maximum pressure to crush the test sample recorded on a gauge with peak pointer. Has adjustable testing area to accommodate specimen sizes and shapes. Some Paper Testing Equipments : THICKNESS MICROMETER: This instrument is used for testing the core collapsing stren...

The Role of Wood Chip Classifier in Production of Good Quality Paper

Image
Pulp testing equipments are most critical aspects of paper making. The instruments that compromise this section of the catalogue is designed specifically for the analysis of different raw materials. These pulp testing instruments are used in research, development, alteration of pulp characteristics of optimizing paper and studying of board product properties before going into commercial production. Woodchipclassifier is a pulp testing instrument that is used for quick and reproducible determining the mean thickness and thickness distribution of wood chips intended for the production of chemical or mechanical pulps. A wood chip classifier has 5 standard screens and a fines pan. The light weight standard screens are made of stainless steel and aluminum for easy handling.   The light weight screens are mounted on the shaking table.     Wood chip classifiers are designed for rapid, reproducible and accurate classification of wood chips. A good quali...

Ring Crush Tester and Cobb Sizing Tester

The ring crush test (RCT) is an optimal instrument used to evaluate the ring crush resistance of a paper strip formed into a ring with some standard length and width. This test is performed to the strict standards of ISO 12192 and TAPPI T 822.  The ring crush tester is pretty similar to the test of short-span compression. The strength of the liner or fluting is determined both in the machine direction which placed perpendicular to it. It is mandatory that force application is placed perfectly to the specimen in the exact perpendicular while performing these tests. The outcome of this test highly relies on proper specimen preparation. Specimen and guides must be placed exactly parallel to ensure highly precise determination of ring crush strength. As the ring crush test gives information about how specimen buckling acts like be rather than crush behavior, it is being replaced by the short-span compression test these times. Ring Crush Test (RCT) with a professional...
