GRAIN DIRECTION: Direction of predominant fibre alignment, usually the machine direction. The directionality of paper must be taken into account in measuring such paper strength properties as tearing strength, tensile strength and folding endurance. The ratio of machine-direction and cross-direction strength values is indicative of the degree of fiber orientation. |
