Tapio RQP: Measuring Principle
The Measuring principle is to launch an impact body by spring force against the test surface on which it rebounds.
Velocity and distance are measured and processed to form the hardness profile.
RQP measures 10 timesevery second.

Conclusions-Uneven paper roll hardness profile is a major factor for a web break at the printing plant.
-RQP is the fastest and the most accurate system to detect reels that need to be excluded in printing or converting processes.
-RQP high resolution hardness measurement detect narrow slack and tense areas.
-Roll hardness profiles are easily available for further use in mill system etc.
- Hardness measurements in z-direction are possible.
