| |
Tear Factor |
| |
Tear factor is calculated as tear strength per unit grammage (g/m2). |
| |
Tear Strength |
| |
The resistance of a sheet of paper to tearing, as measured by the force required to tear a strip under standard conditions. Tear strength is an important performance factor to a printer or converter. |
| |
Tearing Resistance |
| |
Force needed to tear a paper specimen under specified conditions. |
| |
Tearing Wire |
| |
A thick wire fixed to a mould producing a thinner line of paper to facilitate tearing into two sheets. |
| |
Technical Papers |
| |
A grade of medium-grammage papers used for industrial and advertising purpose. |
| |
Telescoped Roll |
| |
A misaligned paper roll with one end concave, the other convex caused by the slippage of inner layers of the web. |
| |
Tensile Strength |
| |
The force, parallel with the plane of the paper, required to produce failure in a specimen under specified conditions of loading. Tensile strength is measured in both the grain and cross-grain directions. |
| |
Test Linerboard |
| |
Used as an outer layer of a corrugated board. It is made partly from chemical pulp and partly from the recycled paper pulp. |

| |
The A Series |
| |
The A series is a general term for printed matter including stationary and publications. |
| |
Thermal Paper |
| |
A type of paper with a heat-sensitive coating on which an image can be produced by the application of heat. It is used on telefax machines, thermoplotters, and thermoprinters. |
| |
Thermography |
| |
A printing process in which a slow drying ink is applied to paper and while the ink is still wet, it is lightly dusted with a resinous powder. The paper then passes through a heat chamber where the powder melts and fuses with the ink to produce a raised surface. |
| |
Thermomechanical Pulp (TMP) |
| |
A grade of mechanical pulp made by presteaming wood chips, producing a higher yield and stronger pulp than the regular groundwood. |
| |
Thickness (Caliper) |
| |
The distance between the two surfaces of a sheet of paper. It is measured in microns, or thousandths of a millimeters. Thickness of paper is affected by its moisture content. Thickness determines the stiffness of paper, an important quality for its smooth running on high speed copiers and printers. |
| |
Thin Paper |
| |
A paper having a grammage of 40 g/m2 or less |
