Corrugator Roll Wear Measurement

Edited by Al Down

This is a revision of the 1983 TAPPI PRESS report of the same title. The revised report lists and describes six methods of measuring corrugator roll wear. These methods include pressure profiles (NCR strips), staining (copper sulfate), micrometer/depth dial gauge, roll impressions, noncontact measurement, and IPC/McMahon abrasiveness. In addition to the descriptions, the report includes a listing of advantages and disadvantages for each method. The ten chapters contain many photographs illustrating the various types of roll wear. Causes and suggested remedies are also provided. The Process Control and Quality Assurance Committee of the Corrugated Containers Division prepared this report. 1996. 27 pages, soft cover.
