The Effect of Atmospheric Conditions on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Linerboard

  • Published : 2006.12.30

Abstract

The physical and mechanical properties of linerboard were shown to be affected by changing atmospheric conditions. Two atmospheric conditions were measured in order to investigate how they were affected by different atmospheric conditions on the physical and mechanical properties of domestic linerboard. The basis data set for the standardization research was provided in this study. It is confirmed that the relative humidity seemed to be a major factor on the quality deterioration of a linerboard. Experimental results have shown that the short span compression test (SCT) could be used to evaluate the quality characteristics of linerboardat different moisture content and relative humidity.
