English to German Tech/Engineering Paper / Paper Manufacturing Test method for sanitary tissue paper

The instrument and software is set-up to acquire **crosshead** position and force data at a rate of 50 points/sec.
The crosshead speed (which moves the pressure foot) for testing samples is set to 0.20 inches/min (the steel-to-steel test speed is set to 0.05 inches/min).
Crosshead position and force data are recorded between the load cell range of approximately 5 and 1500 grams during compression.
The crosshead is programmed to stop immediately after surpassing 1500 grams, record the thickness at this pressure (termed Tmax), and immediately reverse direction at the same speed as performed in compression.
Data is collected during this decompression portion of the test (also termed recovery) between approximately 1500 and 5 grams.
Since the foot area is one square inch, the force data recorded corresponds to pressure in units of g/in2.
The MAP software is programmed to the select 15 crosshead position values (for both compression and recovery) at specific pressure trap points of 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 1000, and 1250 g/in2 (i.e., recording the crosshead position of very next acquired data point after the each pressure point trap is surpassed).
