The TAPPI T 580 standard specifies a method for measuring the thickness of towels, paper towels, napkins and facial products using a caliper. The standard helps assess the physical properties and comfort of these paper products by precisely measuring their thickness. Thickness is an important factor affecting the feel, water-absorption and strength of paper products, especially in the production of daily consumer goods such as toilet paper and facial tissue.
