T 1008 sp-24 Test conditions for fiberglass mat test methods (Revision) Special thanks to the SSIG members below for being the Working Group Chairs in the recently published reviews of TAPPI Standards: Brian Traynor - WGC for T 1008 The TAPPI Standards Department would also like to express its gratitude to all volunteers who participated in the review of those Standards as SSIG members. Thirteen TAPPI Standards approved as American National Standards The following TAPPI Standards have been approved as American National Standards by the ANSI Board of Standards Review: New American National Standards: T 631 om-24 Microbiological enumeration of process water and slush pulp Approved reaffirmation of current American National Standards: T 1200 sp-24 Interlaboratory evaluation of test methods to determine TAPPI repeatability and reproducibility Approved revision of current American National Standards: T 1008 sp-24 Test conditions for fiberglass mat test methods Notices of the approvals of the TAPPI Standards as American National Standards were placed in the June 7th, 2024 and June 14th, 2024 editions of ANSI Standards Action. Check here the list of TAPPI Technical Information Papers (TIPs) recently published: TIP 0404-43 Water permeability of press fabrics (Revised) We extend our special appreciation to the following volunteers who served as Working Group Chairs in the recently published reviews of TAPPI TIPs: Lawrence Yane - WGC for TIP 0404-43 Please note that the documents available for purchase on tappi.org and the Standards License Platform are updated monthly, usually around the 30th of each month. As a result, there may be a delay between the announcement of publication and their availability online. However, if you are subscribed to online access for Standards and TIPs and urgently require new documents that have not yet been posted, you can submit a request for TIPs to tip@tappi.org or Standards to standards@tappi.org. TAPPI Standards in Ballot
Listed below are TAPPI Standards that have recently gone out for ballot to the corresponding Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG). The date in parentheses is the closing date for voting. T 1211 sp-19 Self-certification practice for organizations providing reference materials for TAPPI Standards (July 17, 2024) The TAPPI Standards regulations require public review of standards that are up for ballot.

Propose a New Standard or Technical Information Paper (TIP) Getting started is easy. Do you have just a general idea for a Standard, or are you farther along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a Standard or TIP, complete the New Idea Submission form. TAPPI will review your idea and identify an appropriate committee or group to work on your suggestion. If you are further along, send an initial draft to standards@tappi.org. From there, the TAPPI Standards Manager will guide you through the appropriate process to finalize and approve the new document. STAR of the Month
This Standard describes a procedure for measuring the Euler number of coating colors using a High-Shear Viscometer with an orifice configuration. In this method, the extensional viscosity is evaluated by calculating the Euler number when the coating color flows through an orifice at a velocity of 15 m/s. The method is applicable for water-based coating colors used in various coating processes such as in blade, rod, and curtain coating. Typically, suitable coating colors have a solids content between 30 % and 80 %, and they contain mineral pigments, synthetic and / or natural polymers, and coating additives. A Euler number of 1-2 signifies a lack of extensional viscosity in the sample. Euler numbers of 2-5 signify moderate amounts of extensional viscosity, while numbers over 5 signify high extensional viscosity. Typical extensional viscosity values can be seen in Appendix E.

If no progress is made on balancing these SSIGs, then the respective methods may be considered for withdrawal at the next Q&SMC meeting. If you have an interest in becoming a member of either of these SSIGs please contact standards@tappi.org Standards Coming Up For Review
The system for review and development of TAPPI Standards requires an announcement of review dates so that any interested TAPPI parties may access the drafts, submit comments, and/or join the Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) to cast an official vote. Listed below are the Standards that will be up for review in 2024. The date indicated is the target date on which the draft will be distributed to the Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) for that particular Standard. T 401 om-20 Fiber analysis of paper and paperboard (October 7, 2024) Any interested individuals who wish to be part of the voting for any Standard should send a message to standards@tappi.org and request voting membership on the corresponding SSIG, prior to the target ballot date, if possible. Anyone who joins the SSIG before the target balloting date will receive a notice of the ballot. U.S. TAG to ISO TC 6
Next TC 6 Meeting(s) – Need to pre-register to attend. If you are a member of any working group (WG), please think about attending at least one of these meetings, or if you can’t please inform interim HOD of any important issues you may have. If you would like to know more or join the U.S. TAG to ISO TC 6, please write to isotc6@tappi.org. Did You Know
...that to participate in the balloting process for TAPPI Standards you must sign up for the Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIGs)? Drafts are available for anyone to review, but to vote you must be a member of the SSIG. Each Standard has its own SSIG – so you have to sign up for each Standard that you have an interest in. Links to all of the SSIGs (by subject category) can be found on the SSIG Join Page. When you click on a Subject Category, it will display links to related SSIGs. Acronyms You May Need to Know
For details on these commonly used acronyms in the development of TAPPI Standards and TIPs, please see the Standards Guidelines and the TIP Guidelines, or send your questions to standards@tappi.org. Searching and Ordering TAPPI Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods
