Tensile strength and stretch
After reading this article you will..
- know that the tensile strength of the tissue paper can be measured as a dry tensile or wet tensile.
- know that there are two different methods to measure wet tensile strength, with the horizontal tensile tester or with the vertical tensile tester equipped with the Finch device.
