PROCEDURE FOR UTILIZING STATISTICAL CONTROL TECHNIQUES TO MONITOR THE TARE WEIGHT OF A RUN OF BOXES

Tare weight, i.e. the weight of an empty corrugated box, can be an important property in industries where the product and box are weighed together in the packaging operation and the predetermined tare weight of the box is subtracted to obtain the weight of the product being sold.

It is essential in these industries that the tare weight is within specified limits to ensure that the weight of the product sold is within acceptable commercial tolerances.
