Edge Crush Test For Corrugated Boards

Corrugated boxes are one of the major means of packaging that are used for safe packaging and transit of various materials and products in different industries. The corrugated boxes need to be strong enough to ensure the product safety during storage and transportation. The ECT is a major way of determining the strength of a corrugated box or any other material that is used for making packaging boxes. The Presto’s EC tester is one of the most reliable ways of performing the edge crush test for corrugated boards. The is used for performing three different tests that are edge crush test, ring crush test and flat crush test to determine the actual and accurate strength of the packaging materials.

Presto’s ECT allows users to perform highly accurate and precise edge crush test for corrugated boards. In addition to that, the edge crush tester is provided with three different testing fixtures that allow the user to perform three different types of crushing tests on the test specimen. The instrument is best for providing an accurate analysis of the crushing strength of the packaging materials and ensures stronger and better quality corrugated boards and boxes. The device is provided with a digital readout that helps for accurate reading of the test results. It can also store the peak value of the previous tests that have been performed on the instrument.

The device is designed according to the guidelines set by various standardization authorities such as ASTM, ISO, and BIS.
