TAPPI TIP 0502-16 ✓ Most Recent

This Technical Information Paper (TIP) contains information on pilot paper and wet-laid nonwoven machines used for contract, cooperative, internal, and/or customer service research and product development. Missing are confidential, restricted-use, and private pilot machines. In addition, the working group found some other machines that might qualify for listing in the TIP but were unable to communicate with those sites to verify they wish to be listed. The tables that follow describe the characteristics and general capabilities of each pilot machine. The work group has made every effort to find and list machines that qualify for the TIP. Data is provided by the listed site and not independently verified by the work group. A companion TIP is 0502-20 “Catalog of Stock Preparation Pilot Plants.”
