How to accurately place the specimen on the blank holder testing machine?
Certain types of quality testing are performed in the paper packaging industry to help manufacturers measure the compressive strength . Edge crush test is one of the important tests that helps in assessing the quality of delivered boxes by determining their compressive strength . Using a digital model of a crimp Tester , you can easily evaluate compression testing of small packages or solid fibreboard boxes. Edge crush Testers, ring crush Testers and crush Testers are used for precise ECT testing of paper, paperboard, solid fiberboard and corrugated board.
Here we will discuss some simple and easy steps that will be used to accurately place the specimen on the edge crush Tester.
Reduce Your Product Shipping Errors with a Crimping Tester
In order to facilitate the transportation of products around the world, strong packaging is required. Among paper and packaging items, layered paper materials and cartons are prevalent. It is not uncommon for the edges to be crushed with force. Because cardboard boxes have zigzag grooves inside, they create space for the products inside.
If these boxes become flat due to any external force, it may cause deformation of the product and may even destroy the condition of the product. Therefore, it is important for you to test the edge compression strength of the boxes so that they are free from any errors.
Edge crush testing is important both for paperboard manufacturers who want to perform quality control and for box manufacturers who want to evaluate their raw material protection potential. This test instrument can also be used to easily analyze the edge compressive strength of corrugated boxes.
This high-tech edge crush Tester model will allow operators to perform edge testing in three modes, including ring crush testing , edge crush testing and flat crush testing.
Procedure for Accurate Specimen Placement on Edge Crush Tester
Accurate sample placement on this edge crush testing device is very important to you whenever you are going to perform a test using this laboratory testing instrument . Therefore, we have come up with some easy-to-follow steps that will allow you to accurately place your samples using this laboratory testing equipment.
Depending on the type of test you are performing, place the fixture between the compression plates.
To perform an edge crush test, place the edge crush test fixture with the upright edge of the specimen facing the upper platen .
To perform a ring compression test, place the ring compression test between the compression plates with the erected ring facing up and the compression plates upward.
To perform a flat crush test, simply place the flat crush test fixture between the compression plates and start the test
