Bursting Strength Testing: Purpose, Process, and Applications

  What is a Bursting Strength Tester? A bursting strength tester is an instrument used to measure the resistance of materials to rupture or burst. This test is applicable to a wide range of materials including paper, paper boards, corrugated boards and boxes, solid fibre boards, filter cloth, industrial fabrics, and leather. These tests are crucial for assessing the quality, durability, performance, and strength of the materials, ensuring they meet specific standards and requirements. How is Bursting Strength Measured? Burst strength is quantified in kilograms per square centimetre (kg/cm²). To calculate the burst factor of a corrugated or flexible package, the burst strength and the grammage (density) of the packaging material are used. The formula considers both the material's burst strength and its density to provide a comprehensive measure of its durability. How to Perform a Burst Strength Test? The burst strength test is conducted using the following steps: Sample Placement...

What are the Necessary Considerations while Choosing a Torque Tester?

Bottles have become indispensable in the liquid packaging industry due to their convenience and durability. These containers are extensively used across various sectors to ensure the integrity of the liquid contents they hold. One crucial component of these bottles is the closure or cap. Manufacturers must ensure proper sealing to prevent contamination while ensuring ease of opening for consumers. This balance is particularly critical in the case of aerated drinks, where the cap needs to be secure enough to prevent leakage but not so tight that it becomes difficult to open. To address this need, Presto Stantest Pvt Ltd. offers a solution in the form of a bottle cap torque tester . This device is engineered to help bottle and closure manufacturers determine the optimal torque required for different types of closures on various bottles. Let's delve into the considerations one should keep in mind while choosing a torque tester. Functioning Process of the Bottle Cap Torque Tester The ...
