DIN 53104

Introducing DIN 53104 – Industrial Physics 

DIN 53104 is a global DIN standard for testing paper and board to determine the substance of the plies and work out the grammage of the sample.  

What is grammage measurement and why is it important?

Basis weight, substance and ream weight are all terms the paper industry has used in the past to define the mass per unit area of paper and board products. Today the most commonly used term is ‘grammage’ and is most often expressed as grams/meter².  

Paper grammage testing gives you a complete grammage profile, providing key information about the operation of the paper machine. It gives you better, more stable production. And grammage testing allows you to more easily verify and calibrate on-line sensors, saving time and money.
