Title
Standard Test Method for Machine Direction of Paper and Paperboard
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Dec 10, 1997
Scope:
This test method covers four procedures for determining the
machine direction of most grades of paper and paperboard, embodying
the principle that machine direction alignment of fibers results
in:
Cross-direction shrinkage to produce curl with axis in machine
direction,
Higher cross-direction tear,
Higher tensile strength in machine direction, and
Higher stiffness in machine direction.
Application of the procedures in this method to certain grades
of paper, such as sheets laminated to film, creped papers,
extensible papers (where it is not unusual for the machine
direction tensile to be relatively low and the stretch to be
relatively high) and papers reinforced with textile materials, may
result in unreliable determinations.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
Keywords:
