Headbox approach piping guidelines
This Technical Information Paper provides guidelines for design of paper machine headbox approach piping between the basis weight valve and headbox. The goal of this TIP was to develop a consensus of current approach piping guidelines from machine builders, other equipment suppliers, design engineers, and paper company representatives. The purpose is to develop design guidelines that paper companies can use to minimize machine direction basis weight variation on paper machines.
