New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods

 Check here for the list of TAPPI Technical Information Papers (TIPs) recently published:

TIP 0404-66 Thermocompressor Applications for Paper Drying (New) WGC: Mike Soucy.

The Standards below were approved for publication in the last SARG meeting on May 7, 2019:

(* indicates Standards eligible for submission as American National Standards)

1. * T 230 Viscosity of pulp (capillary viscometer method)

2. * T 282 Hexeneuronic acid content of chemical pulp

3. * T 410 Grammage of paper and paperboard (weight per unit area)

5. * T 812 Ply separation of solid and corrugated fiberboard (wet)

These Standards will be published and available on the TAPPI website within the next 30 days.

 Special note: Documents appearing in the TAPPI online version of the Standards and TIPs are updated once a month (usually around the 15th). So it is possible that there is a delay between the publication announcement and the posting online. If you are a subscriber to the online access to Standards and TIPs and you are in a hurry for new documents that have not yet been posted, you can send a request for TIPs to tip@tappi.org or for Standards to standards@tappi.org.

General Announcements

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Migration of the Standards Online Balloting System

TAPPI Standards Online Balloting System, Kavi, migrated on March 25, 2019 to TAPPI Connect. This means that the website that is now hosting the current balloting system (Workspace) is TAPPI Connect. Since then, SSIG members will get access to the balloting system with their TAPPI Connect login and password (this is the same login and password that you use to login to tappi.org). If you don’t have a TAPPI Connect account yet, you may set up one through this link: https://connect.tappi.org/register.

The migration was performed by HigherLogic, the company who now owns Kavi. Although the new Workspace looks very similar to Kavi, some SSIG rosters were not migrated correctly, which may have caused some SSIG members to experience issues when trying to log in to the Workspace through Connect. TAPPI has been working tirelessly with HigherLogic to have the rosters and other functionalities working properly. Some progress has been done, but final adjustments are still needed.

Until those issues are resolved, any ballots that were in progress on the migration day will continue to have their deadlines postponed. Also, no new ballots will be opened until the rosters are accurate. If you have already voted on any ballot, there is no need to vote again.

If you are experiencing any difficulties when trying to log in to TAPPI Connect or when trying to vote, please contact Kristin Whitman kwhitman@tappi.org. She is our web specialist in TAPPI Connect and will review your situation individually.

Once the balloting system is working properly, you will receive a new message from TAPPI informing you that a last extension of the deadline will be granted.

On behalf of TAPPI, I apologize for the inconvenience that this situation might have caused.

Thank you very much for dedicating your time and knowledge to review TAPPI Standards!

Best regards,

Priscila Briggs

Standards Manager
