Selecting the product type
Due to the wide range of different types of papers in use, there are no default product
type categories. The humimeter PM5’s readings are based on a paper stack or roll den-
sities, which is why density is the decisive factor for the different product types.
The product type overview contains suggestions for different paper types and their
associated densities [kg/m³].
