7.1 A comprehensive analysis to determine trouble areas such as
syphon clearance, turbulence bars design, steam differential
pressure, percent steam blowthrough, velocity in syphon pipes,
amount of starch and/or coating pick-up at the size press or
coater.
7.2 Calculating the potential capacity of the sections before and
after a size press and/or coater.
