Tappi T220 Paper Tensile Test of Pulp Handsheets

Scope and significance

 This procedure describes the testing of pulp handsheets, prepared in accordance with TAPPI T 205 “Forming Handsheets for Physical Tests of Pulp,” for their strength and other physical properties as well as their light scattering coefficient.

 Information derived from handsheet testing is a measure of the potential contribution of the pulp to the
strength of the finished paper product.
