ASTM D642
ASTM D642 is a standard test method used to determine the compressive resistance of shipping containers, packaging components, and unit loads. It helps evaluate the structural strength of corrugated boxes, cartons, and transport packaging when subjected to external compression forces. This testing method is widely used in the packaging industry to assess container durability, compare packaging designs, and identify potential failures during stacking, storage, and transportation.
Under ASTM D642, a packaging specimen is positioned between the platens of a suitable Box Compression Tester, where a controlled compressive force is applied according to the specified test conditions. The test measures compression resistance and helps identify deformation, buckling, or structural failure. Factors such as board quality, carton dimensions, moisture content, loading orientation, and packaging construction can influence the final results.
Pacorr Testing Instruments offers advanced Box Compression Testing Machines designed to deliver precise and reliable compression measurements for packaging quality assessment. These instruments help manufacturers, packaging laboratories, and quality control professionals evaluate box strength, optimise packaging materials, maintain consistent product quality, and support testing in accordance with applicable ASTM D642 requirements.
