ASTM D3786-80a-Standard Testing Instruments

ASTM D 3786 80a is an extensive testing standard that is used for determining the bursting strength of textile products such as fiber, fabrics etc. In this method, the resistance of textile products against bursting is measured by a hydraulic or pneumatic diaphragm bursting tester. This testing standard and methods is applicable to a variety of textile products such as knitted fabrics, woven fabrics etc.
The test sample is clamped between two clamps and force is exerted on the sample using a diaphragm operated hydraulically and pneumatically. The load is increased until the sample ruptures. The test is also called a Mullen’s Bursting tester.

Burst Genie 4.0 Digital
The force required for bursting or complete rupture of the board is measured through a Digital Indicator. The bursting strength defines the material's quality as compared to the others. Bursting Strength Tester Genie 4.0 provides a hydraulic pressure on the sample. In the Presto Bursting Strength Tester, a hydraulic pressure is applied on the sample under test, using a neoprene diaphragm, on a circular area. So, a circular piece of the sample of the corrugated board is used for the test. Widely used in the paper and packaging industries, this Digital Bursting Strength Tester conforms to major global testing standards including ASTM D3786-01, ASTM D3786-80a, IS 1060 Part-1 1987, ASTM D774, ISO 2758, and ISO 2759. Compliance with these standards makes it a reliable choice for manufacturers who need precise quality control and international acceptance of their test results. Its dual test modes for paper and board, along with automatic calculation of bursting factor and pass/fail criteria, make it one of the most advanced solutions for packaging material testing.
