Tensile strength of paper


Posted on November 19, 2014 by admin

What is the tensile strength of paper?


The tensile strength is the maximum stress to break a strip of paper
sheet. It is one of the most important basic physical properties of
paper and paperboard. The tensile strength is different basis on fiber
direction. Since the fiber orientation is dissimilar between machine
direction (MD) and cross direction CD), hence the tensile strength is
Dr Aquaguard Purifiers measured in both directions. Machine direction is the direction of
Pure & Healthy drinking water with the paper web which is running on the machine whereas cross
Mineral Guard Technology.
draquaguard.co.in direction means the direction, which is perpendicular to the paper
sheet that is running on the machine during paper making. It is
greater in machine direction than in cross direction. It is calculated with the force per unit width and
express as N/m.

The tensile strength test of paper sheet is like to the other materials test, but the method of expressing is
different. For most cases the tensile strength is generally expressed in terms of load per unit cross-
sectional area, whereas in paper industry it is stated in terms of load per unit of the test specimen. If the
tensile strength of paper is lower, then the quality of the paper is lowered and it in need to be increased
by improving different factor.

Relation of the tensile strength of paper


Tensile strength is used to find out how resistant paper is to a web break. The strength, length and
bonding of fiber, degree of fiber refining and the direction of the fiber are the main sources of the tensile
strength of paper. It is also depends on the quality and quantity of fillers used. It is a significant factor for
many applications as like printing, converter and packaging papers.

Tensile index and its calculation


Tensile index is defined with tensile strength divided by basis weight and express as Nm/g.
Tensile Strength = N/m
Basis Weight = g/m2
Hence, Tensile index (TI) = (N/m)/(g/m2 ) = Nm/g

Tensile strength test machine


Several types of tensile strength testing apparatus are available, working on horizontally or vertically
oriented specimen. There are five types of tensile strength tester apparatus used in paper industry such
as rigid crosshead type, inclined plane type, hydraulic type and spring type. Among them pendulum type
tensile strength test is most commonly used.

I am very keen to learn more about Paper & Pulp. What should be the minimum and maximum Tensile strength of
Kraft liner board?
How is Cobb of a kraft paper tested? What is Cobb TS & BS? What should be the minimum and maximum SCT of a
Kraft Liner board?

I will appreciate if there is any short courses available so that I could join to learn more.

Thanks & best regards

Dear saleem,

Tensile strength depends upon the type of paper. Upto my knowledge cobb can be tested by pouring water on the
paper and checking the dewatering of it up to 45 to 60 sec of minimum time. If the water or moisture detected at the
lower end of paper, then the quality of the paper is not upto expected regarding kraftliner paper. T. S the breaking
or tearing point of a paper when maximum force is applied to tear it. That max force noted as T.S of paper can be
tested by machines. B.S. Can be checked as same above. It is the maximum burst strength factor which the produced
paper can with stand

Is there any way to manually measure the tensile strength of paper? We are conducting an investigative research
about the relationship between the the strength of paper made from carabao grass and its relative “cooking” time. It
would mean a lot to our study. Thank you!

if tensile strength of a paper is 98N/15mm, what would be in MPa

I am looking for same answer …

Have you figured it out ??

1MPa = 1000000Pa = 1000000 N/m2


Now you can calculate easily

Thanks for your reply,


Tensile strength of paper is expressed in N/m (Force per unit length) everywhere.
I am looking for a way to convert the tensile strength of paper to N/m^2 (Force per unit area).

I assume this is because the paper strength might not be proportional to its cross sectional
area. It should calculated separately for each paper weight

if tensile strength of a paper is N/15mm to MPa.

Thanks & regards

Can we run machine speed at more than papers breaking length. Both while paper making and converting
operations?
