Abstract
A method for determining the tendency of a non-woven web to curl, where the web has a machine direction (MD), a cross-machine direction (CD) and the web includes a wire side and a felt side. The method comprises determining a wire ratio which is the ratio of the number of fibers oriented in the MD to the number of fibers oriented in the CD, where the fibers are associated with the wire side of the web, a felt ratio which is the ratio of the number of fibers oriented in the MD to the number of fibers oriented in the CD, where the fibers are associated with the felt side of the web, and determining the wire to felt ratio which is a measure of the tendency of the web to curl.
