The folding endurance test has much significance, ranking along with bursting and tearing strength among the physical strength properties most to be desired in many types of papers. Folding endurance is of particular importance in such papers as box lining, bag, bond, ledger, currency, cover, index, and in numerous other applications where paper is subJected to harsh or repeated folding. The marked difference in folding endurance with the grain and across the grain is evidence that sheet structure has an important bearing on this quality. However, results are influenced in varying degrees by surface treatment, such as sizing and calendoring. Some types of surface coatings affect the values, particularly when the coatings arc absorbed into the fibers to the oxtont that they may be stiffened, softened, or otherwise altered. The effect produced by changes of fiber characteristics io illustrated by the fact that the moisture content of the paper has a Lmch more pronounced influence on the folding endurance than on any other of thu common physical tests. Because of the marked influence of atmos- phuric conditions, it is most important that tests bo conducted in the prescribed manner under standard relative humidity and. temperature conditions. Since spocimnon arc folded while under tension, the tensile strength of the papor may also have come offoct on its folding properties. While folding endurance is an empirical property, it also defines one of the elements of utility, as well as of manufacture. The values obtained are absolute. 42_. .'-thor oasting Instrument Co., Inc. Anthor folding endurance tester. CitLialar .15. v. id.

It appcars that a strong fibor-to-fibor bond and a good shoot for- - nmtiorn provcnting soparation of individual fibers ore highly important for obtaining a high folding utrongth. The following factors contribute t) higher f olding endurance: Cooking and bleaching procoosco favoring high individu'J. f:bor strength and retention of gel-forming material in th fibc-ro, a beating operation forming this go with a ninirin of fiber destruction, a ccmcnting size, nooans of osecuring a random fiber orienrttion in thu shoot, and proper calondcring proccduroo with regard to to:nperature, noicturc and pressure. 427. btuoeUon, M.

It is pointed out that a sample folded at 65% rcla- tive humidity and 70° F. will show a test averaging approximately double that shown by the same shoot conditioned and tested at 50% and if the temperature be raised to 90 degrees and the relative humidity to 70 or 75%, the tear may be tripled or even more. The fold test is the most susceptible to small changes in temperature and relative humidity but tear oan Millon and other tcets arc affected to an appreciable degree. Tho fact that folding endurance is being recognized as one of the most significant physical tests for hig,,h graCo papers is demanding uniform testing condltions. .42c.

The methods of analysis arc not given but the article is of interest in that it gives examples of the value of statistical analysis in drawing deductions as to the significance of individual factors influencing the property being measured. From the data presented, conclusions are drawn concerning the effect upon folding strength of such factors as selection of the sample shoots, the particular instrument employed in making the test, .the direction of the shoot, the humidity to which the paper was subjected in seasoning and the consign- ment from which the samples were selected. 4_ 5. Carson, F. T., and Snyder, L. W. Calibration and adjustment of the Schopper folding tester. National Bur. Standards, Tech. Paper No. 357. Oct. 15, 1922. [Vol. 2:125-140]. The Schopper folding tester, which is designed to test the bending endurance of paper and its resistance to such types of wear as involve creasing and folding, ir so constructed that a number of variables are introduced by reason of the several rollers and. other working parts which are dr-iven by the specimen bci:g tested. Those mechanical variables affect the folding results in mcc!: the same anner as do errors in ad- justing the tension applied to the specimen during the tost and apparently can in general be expressed as equivalent effective tension. The tension on, the specicnl is very critical, the effect on the folding results being inversely proportional to something like the tenth power of the tension (according to available data). The variables listed are: fold- ing blade nnl li.n1._ago, quadrantai rollers, supporting rollers, and tonsion on the clnmp sprirs.
