Tie dimensional acceptance to a named process stage

Connect tape construction, heat-setting stage, later processing, relaxation and final assembly.

Tape construction
What to record: Fibre, weave, width, thickness, finish, face, direction, lot and specimen code
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Retain a marked untreated reference

Heat-setting stage
What to record: Route position, controlled process reference and measurement stage
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Label specimens before and after

Downstream history
What to record: Printing, drying, moulding, pressing, washing, folding and applied tension in order
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Run the stated full sequence

Relaxation condition
What to record: Temperature and humidity when controlled, support, time and absence of applied tension
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Condition specimens as agreed

Dimensional outputs
What to record: Length, width, bow, twist, flatness and print or cut datum at named locations
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Measure from marked points

Change control
What to record: Inputs requiring review and renewed comparison
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Maintain a project-specific list

Heat setting may change stability, surface or hand for a construction; it is not a universal remedy for shrinkage, bow or twist.
