Paper Roll Clamp Contact Pads

Tissue paper can be divided into three categories, each of which should use a different style pad.
Choosing the correct tissue pad type can be simplified by using a technique based on the density of the paper roll. The density calculation is based on how the tissue interacts with the pad as shown in the illustrations below. Note the tissue flowing around the pad in the case of the convex pad and soft tissue. Conversely, the dense tissue holds its shape and is best handled with a pad of similar radius to the roll.
