Title
Standard Test Method for Folding Endurance of Paper by the M.I.T. Tester
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2007
Scope:
This test method describes the use of the M.I.T.-type folding
apparatus for determining folding endurance of paper. The M.I.T.
tester can be adjusted for papers of any thickness; however, if the
outer fibrous layers of paper thicker than about 0.25 mm (0.01 in.)
rupture during the first few folds, the test loses its
significance. The procedure for the Schopper-type apparatus is
given in Test Method D 643. This test method is the technical
equivalent of TAPPI T 511.
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.
