Title: On-machine sensors to measure paper mechanical properties

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10142669

The purpose of the program is to develop sensors capable of measuring the velocity of ultrasound in the thickness and in-plane directions of paper while the paper is moving at line speed on the paper machine. These measurements would provide a nondestructive characterization of the mechanical properties of paper, allowing continuous monitoring of product quality as well as providing data for controlling the papermaking process.
