occur if test guidelines are not followed. |
||
** Paper weight / Speed |
|
Lower and upper limits of paper weight and splicing speed |
|
|
|
|
represent the limits of successful testing of this and other related |
||
|
|
constructions carried out during field trials on core and belt driven |
||
|
|
presses or on other appropriate paper processing equipment. The |
||
|
|
paper weight and splicing speed limits given do not imply that this |
||
|
|
product will not perform well on papers outside these limits. They |
||
|
|
are only an indication that testing has not been completed outside |
||
|
|
these limits. We recommend consultation with 3M technical |
||
|
|
service for processes involving paper weights and press speeds |
||
|
|
outside the above-mentioned limits. Please note that thorough |
||
|
|
testing is necessary to ensure suitability of this product to the |
||
|
|
user’s individual splicing conditions and requirements. |
