Twin-wire former Subdomain (1st level):  Papermaking Subdomain (2nd level):  Paper web manufacture Subdomain (3rd level):  Sheet formation Grammatical category:  Complex term Grammar notes:  Countable Variant of:  Twin wire former Type of variant:  Ortographic variant Context:  From the inlet manifold, the stock passes through a distribution system of tubes, and then through chambers and/or devices to even out the tubular flow pattern and to control turbulence into a converging slice or throat. The stock accelerates through the slice and emerges from the machine-wide slot formed by the slice lips as a jet, with a velocity close to (but usually slightly higher than) that of the former. The jet may then impinge onto a fourdrinier table or directly into the nip of a twin-wire former. Context source:  EN 48 Attestation:  2
