Using a TAPPI Handsheet Former

This shows how a standard handsheet former is used to make paper test sheets using the TAPPI standard procedure T205. I'm not strictly following the procedure because I'm not carefully checking the timing when stirring the pulp. As well, once the sheet is formed I use non-standard couches and a non-standard roller.

But you get the idea how it works.

The T205 procedure continues with instructions on pressing and drying the sheets, but I don't have any of the equipment for that.
