The argument for the use of elevated temperatures in artificial aging relies on the fact that in general a reaction proceeds faster at higher temperatures, which makes it possible to observe its effects, in this case the loss of paper strength, more quickly than at room temperature. Such artificial aging experiments are sometimes called 'Arrhenius-tests'.
