When it comes to evaluating the strength of the paper of paperboard or corrugated board, both burst strength and compression tests are performed. Both tests tell manufacturers if the material has enough strength to withstand the forces during transportation, shipping, or storage. However, there are still some differences that make them distinctive from each other. In the following blog, we will highlight those differences. Bursting Strength Test Performed on a bursting strength tester for carton box , this test determines the ability of the material to withstand uniform pressure before it bursts or ruptures. It basically measures the material’s resistance to internal pressure, created by liquids, gases, or moving products. During this test, a well-prepared specimen is placed on the burst strength tester and then pressure is applied via a diaphragm until the specimen bursts. The maximum pressure at which the specimen bursts is recorded as the strength of the material....
