Importance of Bursting Strength for Packaging Boxes

Importance of Bursting Strength for Packaging Boxes

In the packaging and paper industry, the quality of paper is one of the most important aspect. The packaging boxes and containers that are made from paper and corrugated sheets need to have best quality and strength to ensure that they are capable to providing best level of protection to the products that are packaged in them. During the transportation and storage, the packaging boxes have to face plenty foe extreme forces and ensure that they will protect the products and maintain its quality.

In order to ensure better quality of packaging boxes, the manufacturers need to assess the strength of the materials that are being sued for manufacturing the boxes. The bursting strength of the materials such as paper and corrugated sheets has a great impact on the quality of the containers.

What is Bursting Strength of Paper?

The bursting strength of paper or corrugated sheets is the amount of the force that the specimen can bear without rupture or failure when a bursting force is applied on it in the normal direction to its plane. This strength value gives the analysis about the strength of the materials as well its behavior when subjected to such forces.

How to check the explosion factor?

The formula for calculating the explosion coefficient of paper or cardboard is given below.

Bursting factor = Explosive power (gf / cm2) / Grammar (gf / m2)

To determine the explosive strength of a material, you must first have an explosive force tester. This machine determines the strength of the material, which is then used to determine the coefficient of explosion and explosion index.

Where can I get a Bursting Strength Tester?

Pacorr is a leading manufacturer and supplier of explosive force testing machines. There is a wide range of models that meet the testing requirements of different industries. The machine is manufactured in accordance with the testing standards of various related organizations. The machine consists of a ring compression mechanism for holding the sample, a rubber diaphragm for applying pressure. Laboratory glycerin is used as a medium to reduce the hydraulic pressure on the sample. The pressure is applied through a rubber diaphragm. The device works with a simple explosion mechanism. The machine has a button to eliminate complications. The operator presses the button until the sample explodes. The force required to break the sample is measured and displayed on the screen.

Pacorr offers three different models of bursting strength testers that are Analogue model, digital model and digital cum computerized model. For more information on our bursting strength tester, you can contact us.
