Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies a method for determining the tearing resistance of paper. It can also be used for light boards if the tearing resistance is within the range of the instrument. This standard does not apply to corrugated fibre board, but it may be applied to the components of such boards. It is not suitable for determining the cross-direction tearing resistance of highly directional paper (or board). This standard was PUBLISHED on 2008-09-08.
