Subdomain (1st level):  Papermaking
Subdomain (2nd level):  Stock preparation
Grammatical category:  Complex term
Grammar notes:  Countable
Synonym of:  Basis weight valve
Context:  Paper grammage is determined by the position of the thick stock valve (basis weight valve, stuff gate), which is located just upstream of the fan pump. This valve effectively allows into the PM headbox the quantity of bone dry fiber required in the paper, because the stock is already at a controlled consistency.
