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. Send a message to standards@tappi.org if you want to request a copy of the draft in ballot. If you would like to participate in the SSIGs that review and vote on the Standards, please contact TAPPI Standards Department at standards@tappi.org.

 
General Announcements

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.
