Method for evaluating thickness of wet press fabrics

• A method is described for measuring press fabric thickness using a hand-held caliper gauge.
• It is used for large fabrics installed on a paper machine or for smaller laboratory samples. For other characterizations of wet press fabrics refer to:
• TIP 0404-20 "Characterization of Wet Felts".
• TIP 0404-29 "Porosity Measurements of Press Felts on the Paper Machine (HSPT)”.
• TIP 0404-32 "Felt Uniformity Impression Method" (withdrawn in 1998).
