Easy To Follow the Steps for Bursting Strength Test

Start the testing machine and turn on the main switch. The Load indicator might show some readings due to previous test values.
Set the pressure to ZERO and then Press the RESET button and the load indicator will show a zero reading.
Prepare the specimen of Cardboard, corrugated fiber sheet, or any other material you want to test with the minimum dimensions of 100 mm X 100 mm.
While preparing the specimen, make sure that there are no folds in the specimen.
Once the specimen will be placed accurately, then you can easily commence the test.
