scope:

The use of instrumentation and other techniques for monitoring and troubleshooting paper machine press sections is widely accepted. High energy costs and the overall requirement to produce at a lower cost have emphasized the need for optimizing pressing efficiency. This TIP provides information on available instrumentation and procedures for monitoring wet press performance.

Trade names and manufacturers names may be found, without value judgments, in TIP 0404-62 "Index of Suppliers for Press Section Monitoring." in order to address the practical day-to-day aspects of press section monitoring. General descriptions of the various measurements are provided in TIP 0404-62 to assist in selecting a supplier.
