How to measure for panel warp
Panel warp is determined by measuring for cup, bow, or twist. This is done with the panel standing in a vertical position (± 5 degrees).
Cup is defined as a deviation from flatness in a plane oriented along the short dimension or width of a panel. To measure the amount of cupping, a calibrated straight edge or a thin cord is stretched vertically on the concave side at each end (corner to corner) and at the midpoint of the panel (edge to edge).
