2 Important Testing Equipment for the Tissue Paper Manufacturing Industry

The key purpose of tissue paper is to absorb moisture or for other sanitary uses. Hence, during tissue paper manufacturing, you must adopt Tensile strength testing equipment and Thickness Gauge. It can help to define the strength and thickness of tissue paper. 

Both types of equipment have their importance and impact on the tissue manufacturing process. The presence of a thickness gauge in the manufacturing process helps to define the thickness of the tissue paper. As for a standard range, tissue paper ranges between 10 to 35 GSM. 

The thickness gauge by UEC evaluates the thickness of a paper under a weight of 1.0 Kg/ cm². But for tissue paper, it follows a standard of 0.2 kg Dead Weight Load over a 10 cm² area. Hence, allowing get a more accurate thickness for the tissue paper. It can further help to segment the tissue paper based on its thickness for different uses. 

On the other hand, the tensile strength testing equipment helps to define tissue stretchability. In simpler terms, it measures the pressure that would lead to tissue paper tearing. Further, such tensile strength varies in the case of dry and wet tissue paper. 

Importance of such testing for tissue papers

• Both the thickness test as well as tensile strength helps to measure the quality of tissue paper and accordingly put it to different uses. 
• Also, based on the test results, efforts can be made to improve the quality of the tissue paper. 
• Not only the tissue paper but also such an approach helps to determine the quality of the raw material that has been used. 
• Further, it can be reflected that the thickness of tissue paper is proportionate to its tensile strength. As higher the thickness, the more the tensile strength. 
• The thickness and tensile strength of tissue paper also define its softness. Hence, it is important to conduct such tests during the manufacturing process.
