How to Place Specimen Accurately on Bursting Strength Tester?

Paper products like corrugated boxes have many applications in the packaging industry. Thus, to ensure that your product will be delivered with utmost care and without any damage, you need to test the bursting strength of the corrugated boxes. Thus, we at Testronix Testing Instruments have come up with an advanced testing instrument known as the bursting strength tester pneumatic model that comes with an automatically compressed gauge to make the operation even much easier. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with accurate information about how you can easily place the specimen accurately on the bursting strength tester pneumatic model.

Use of bursting strength tester in the packaging industry

Materials like paper, cardboard, boxes, solid fiberboards, and other related materials will easily get burst or rupture with little pressure or force. Thus, with the help of the bursting strength test, you will be able to improve the quality, durability, and performance of materials before shipping them to the customers.

This amazing lab testing equipment comes with a rubber diaphragm and a digital readout of pressure with a peak hold facility. The hydraulic pressure will be applied through the rubber diaphragm at an increasing rate until it ruptures the material.

The gauge in the pneumatic model will easily get tightened automatically. It has been made in accordance with industry-standard like ASTM D 3786-01, ASTM D 3786 – 80A, ISO 1060 PART-1 1987. This laboratory testing equipment will provide you with many advantages for the packaging industry.

• By testing the bursting strength of the package, you will be able to improve the product quality.
• You can easily determine how much pressure your material can withstand.
• The bursting strength testing can be done quickly with the help of this testing machine.
• You will be able to produce a technically correct product that leads to zero rejections.

These are some of the advantages you will get with the use of a bursting strength tester in the packaging industry. You can also read about the significance of bursting strength tester in the packaging industry.
