Abstract

A method and device for determining the strength of a sheet material, such as paper, utilizing floc size and the variability of the local basis weight of the sheet. The force required to deflect the moving sheet out of a nominal position, the distance the sheet is deflected by said force and the average tension applied to the sheet may also be utilized in the above determination of sheet strength.
