The grain direction is known as the machine direction (MD), while the cross direction (CD) is the direction of the paper at right angles to the MD. Correct Answer True

The given statement is true. The grain direction is known as the machine direction (MD), while the cross direction (CD) is the direction of the paper at right angles to the MD. The grain of paper must be taken into account in measuring all physical properties. Most of the physical properties of paper depend on direction, that is, the MD, CD and thickness direction (z-direction).
