Provide Better Strength to Textile Packaging with Bursting Strength Tester

Packaging textile materials have a critical role in industrial packaging and containment. The major reason for choosing textile packaging is the level of efficiency and sustainability. They offer the best level of protection and security to the product during storage and transportation. In addition to that, the shock-absorbing ability of textile material helps safeguard fragile products, machine parts, and other sensitive products while reducing the risk of damage. The manufacturers of textile packaging need to ensure the quality and strength of packaging is top notch for maximum safety. This is why the textile material is tested through a bursting strength tester to ensure the best level of safety.

Bursting Strength Testing (BST) of Textile
Bursting strength testing of textile fabrics is a method of calculating its strength while it is stressed in all directions simultaneously. The testing procedure is suitable for testing flexible materials with components that can be stretched in different directions. It is used mainly for testing the strength of materials used for making nets, parachutes, filters, and packaging materials.

How to Perform BST?
BST is performed using a highly precise machine called a bursting strength tester. The instrument uses a diaphragm and hydraulic pressure to exert an omnidirectional load on the test specimen. To perform the test, the specimen is prepared according to the standard being followed, and then it is secured through clamps to avoid any slippage during the test procedure. Once the specimen is clamped securely, the machine is turned on. As the hydraulic pressure increases in the diaphragm, it starts exerting omnidirectional bursting force on the specimen. The force gradually increases until the specimen bursts. Once it bursts, the pressure is reduced, and the digital display locks the highest reading for the test, which gives the bursting strength of the materials. This bursting strength helps the manufacturers determine whether the material is the correct choice for use in packaging products.

Buy Most Precise Bursting Strength Tester
Pacorr is a major manufacturer and supplier of highly precise and sophisticated bursting strength tester that is used in the packaging industry as well as the textile industries to test the strength of materials such as cardboard, corrugated boards, and fabrics used for different purposes. The instrument uses lab grade glycerin for exerting pressure that ensures uniform distribution of force. The instrument is designed in adherence to international standards such as ASTM D3786, D3787, and D6797, which ensures accurate testing results that are acceptable and applicable in the international markets.
