Allowing paper to adjust itself to the temperature and humidity in the plant prior to its use.
The process of adding moisture to tobacco so that it will be pliable enough to withstand handling, processing, and manufacturing without breaking into smaller pieces. Special care must be taken to avoid over-conditioning, as this lowers the quality of the tobacco.
(r) the storage of a rubber, under specified conditions (time, temperature, humidity) prior to testing.
(r) the prescribed program of deformation of a specimen prior to testing.
Placing paper or packaging material under controlled conditions in order to reach a specific moisture level and temperature. Regulating the moisture content and temperature of packaging materials in preparation for testing.
Allowing paper to sit long enough for it to adjust to the surrounding atmosphere until its moisture content is equal to atmospheric moisture content. This process provides for optimum performance on press.
The subjection of a material to a stipulated treatment so that it will respond in a uniform way to subsequent testing or processing. The term is frequently used to refer to the treatment given to specimens before testing.
A process of allowing textile materials to reach equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere.
The process of subjecting materials to specific temperature and humidity conditions for specified periods in order to make them stable in general use.
Exposure of paperboard to accurately controlled and specified atmospheric conditions, so that its moisture content reaches equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere.
When leather is dried after retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring the fibres tend to stick together and the leather is hard. The fibres are separated and the leather softened by staking. Staking is best done at about 18% humidity and so a little humidity has to be put into the dry leather. This is most commonly done by a water spray and then piling the leather long enough for the moisture to even out. Adjusting the moisture content before staking in this way is called conditioning. Used to be done by placing the skins in piles of damp sawdust.
A process that utilizes a series of heavy discharges and recharges on a battery to assure optimum performance.
bringing the paper to the same atmospheric conditions as in the pressroom over time. The goal is to have the relative humidity of the pressroom to match the paper to minimize curl and other defects.
Physical Properties and Testing The process of subjecting material to a specific temperature and relative humidity conditions for a stipulated period of time.
(see Acclimating) The exposure of a wood to the influence of a prescribed atmosphere for a stipulated period of time, or until a stipulated relation is reached between material and atmosphere.
Technical term for adding moisture to cured tobacco to render it supple enough to be handled, processed or manufactured in an optimum manner with minimum breakage, also called "Ordering".
(pre and post) The exposure of a material to the influences of a prescribed atmosphere for a stipulated period of time or until a stipulated relation is reached between material and atmosphere.
Storing paper in the pressroom for a few hours or days before printing until its moisture and temperature equal pressroom atmosphere.
