• Polymers and Foils: Evaluates the bursting resistance of films, plastic sheets, and foils.

For companies relying on strict material specifications, Pacorr’s Bursting Strength Tester helps maintain high standards, supports innovation, and ensures that products meet both internal and global expectations.

Why Bursting Strength Matters in Packaging

Materials such as paper, cardboard, foil, and fabric play a crucial role in the packaging sector. They must be tough enough to prevent damage to both the packaging and the contents during shipping and storage. By testing for bursting strength, manufacturers can confirm that their raw materials will hold up through the demands of real-world distribution. Higher bursting strength indicates greater resistance to applied vertical loads, helping protect products all along the supply chain.

How Does the Bursting Strength Tester Work?

Pacorr’s Bursting Strength Tester features a digital display that allows users to set and monitor testing parameters like force and duration. The machine is equipped with robust clamps—one holds the sample in place, while the other applies a controlled vertical force. As pressure increases, the tester records the peak force at which the material bursts, immediately displaying the result. Safety switches are built in to stop the test instantly if necessary. The instrument is manufactured in line with internationally recognized standards such as ASTM D3786 and ASTM D774, ensuring that test results are universally accepted.

Understanding Bursting Factor

Bursting factor is calculated as:

Bursting Factor = Bursting Strength / Grammage

This ratio gives manufacturers a standardized way to compare different materials’ resistance to bursting relative to their weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is a Bursting Strength Tester?
A Bursting Strength Tester is a specialized device used to measure the amount of pressure required to burst a sample of material, such as paper, cardboard, or fabric. By applying hydraulic pressure to a defined area, the tester determines the maximum force the material can endure before failure. This test is vital for manufacturers who need to ensure their products can withstand the challenges of packaging, shipping, and everyday use.

Q2. What should I do if the tester’s diaphragm bursts during a test?
If the diaphragm in your Bursting Strength Tester ruptures or is damaged during operation, it’s important to replace it right away to maintain test accuracy. Contact Pacorr’s technical support for quick assistance. They can guide you through the replacement process or arrange for maintenance. Regular inspections and timely repairs ensure consistent and reliable test results.

Q3. What fluid is used for hydraulic pressure in the Mullen Test?
Pacorr’s Bursting Strength Tester typically uses laboratory-grade glycerin as the hydraulic fluid for the Mullen Test. Glycerin provides stable and uniform pressure, which enhances the precision of test results compared to water or other fluids.

Q4. Can I test plastics with a Bursting Strength Tester?
No, the Bursting Strength Tester is primarily designed for paper, cardboard, and similar materials with low elasticity. Plastic materials, which tend to stretch or deform rather than burst, require different testing equipment—such as tensile strength or impact testers—to accurately measure their properties.

Q5. Is the Bursting Strength Tester computerized?
Yes, Pacorr offers Bursting Strength Testers in several configurations, including digital and computerized models. Computerized versions allow users to connect the tester to a computer for data collection, analysis, and reporting, making it easier to maintain comprehensive quality records.

Q6. Which materials can be tested with a Bursting Strength Tester?
Commonly tested materials include paper, cardboard, corrugated sheets, multi-layered boards, and various fabrics. The instrument is essential for evaluating packaging and ensuring that products can withstand the rigors of transport and handling.

Q7. What is the typical price range for a Bursting Strength Tester?
The cost of a Bursting Strength Tester usually ranges from ₹50,000 to ₹2,50,000, depending on the model and its features. For precise pricing and recommendations tailored to your needs, it’s best to contact Pacorr directly.
