Bursting Strength Test– This test calculate the force required to damage the box. Sometimes, corrugated boxes are loaded with sharp edged items. Due to external physical forces, the packing may fail. To adjudge the strength of the box, the sample is tested with bursting strength tested. In this, a hydraulic or pneumatic pressure is applied to the sample via rubber diaphragm until sample ruptures. The pressure applied is calculated and displayed on the screen.
Vibration Test- Cartons are especially made for transit packings. Irrespective of the mode of transportation, the box has to bear some physical forces applied by the surrounding, e.g. jerks and wrench. A vibration table simulates those vibrating conditions and gives the idea of the behaviour of the carton in real working situations.
Crush Test – Corrugators are tested in different ways. We apply the load from the top while changing their position and axis. Three types of crush tests are performed, viz;
These 3 tests give a clear idea about how the carton will behave when subjected to packings, loads and transits. For more information about edge crush tester, bursting strength tester and Vibration table, contact us.
