Cross-directional control – Further aspects Dilution control In dilution control of basis weight, the dilution water is usually taken from the wire pit. Thus, the dilution water contains fibres and fillers in amounts determined by retention. If dilution flow is applied so that its ratio to the total flow from headbox is D, the basis
