What is the difference between a Size Estimation Chart and Calibrated Size Estimation Chart?

All 23 dots on each Calibrated Size Estimation Chart have been individually measured and documented within stated tolerances so you do not have to do the calibration or measurement validation.

What do the lines/rectangles on the TAPPI inspection chart represent?

The lines/rectangles are for visual reference only and their measurements are not included on the chart template. Some chart users utilize the lines for visual inspection.
