How Can We Test The Strength Of Carton Boxes From The Inside And Outside?

The carton boxes made up of corrugated boards are tested by various methods. However, it might be confusing which is for what? The main aspect of testing cartons is their load capacity which is useful for a manufacturer to know that it is suitable for stacking, storage or transportation. But which test or machine can be useful for internal and external strength analyses both at one time? A bursting strength tester (BST) can be much more helpful than you know in evaluating the carton box material means the cardboard's quality.

What aspects does a Bursting Strength Tester help in?
The burst testing machine creates a bulging pressure on the surface of the board pushing it in the opposite direction and exerting pressure till it bursts out and the surface breaks. This is the recreation of a real-life instance where the box can face challenges in two ways;

1) When the box is facing pressure from outside which can be from the top, sides or bottom.

2) When the box is facing pressure from inside that can be again at the top, sides or bottom.

The outward pressure can be due to a heavy load stacked over the box or the carton being forcefully pushed from the bottom or sides. However, the box can also have an inward pressure when the carton is filled too much with any stuff. In such a case, the box will have pressure from all directions inside.

To test both cases, BCT can help a lot and if you invest in a trustworthy model, the evaluation will have an added advantage.
