What is Bursting Strength in the Packaging Industry?

Corrugated boxes are widely used to pack and ship different fragile and non-fragile materials. Thus, it is important for you to test the bursting strength of these boxes so as to save them from getting damaged. We at Testronix Testing Instruments will provide you with high quality bursting strength tester that is equipped with an advanced set of features to provide you with accurate testing results. This lab testing equipment will ensure the durability, quality, and strength of packages being used to ship the materials.

Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with the information about bursting strength tester and how you can calculate the burst strength of packages with the help of this lab testing equipment.

Calculate the bursting strength of corrugated boxes with a bursting strength tester

With the great demand for corrugated boxes in the packaging industry, serving quality products is of utmost importance. The lack of quality testing is a big culprit that will stop your business from growing. Thus, it is essential to test different factors before delivering your product. The bursting factor is one of the essential factors that needed to be tested in order to remain ahead of the competition curve. Thus, you can easily test the bursting strength of materials with the help of a Presto bursting strength tester.

This is one of the amazing labs testing equipment that will let you determine the bursting strength of materials with ease. You can easily use the Testronix burst strength tester in the packaging work and get instant bursting test results. This testing equipment will make sure that your product arrives at your destination without getting damaged. This will ultimately reduce product rejections.

If you want to calculate the bursting strength of products, then you need to clamp the specimen first and use the “push to burst” button to apply the hydraulic pressure on the sample. The pressure will be applied through a rubber diaphragm that will inflate when hydraulic pressure is increased. This lab testing machine will easily test the bursting point of

Once you calculate the bursting strength of the products then you can easily calculate the burst factor and burst index of the materials.

Below we have mentioned the formulas to calculate the burst factor and burst index of materials.

• Burst factor = Bursting strength (gf/cm2) / Grammage (gf/m2)
• Burst Index = Bursting strength (kPa) / Grammage (gf/m2)

From corrugated boxes to different types of fiberboards and paper boxes, this lab testing instruments can easily be used to calculate the bursting strength of products.
