Superior Bursting Strength Testing with Genie 2.0: Precision and Standards Combined

Superior Bursting Strength Testing with Genie 2.0: Precision and Standards Combined

07-Jan-2025

Quality assurance plays a significant part in growing in the fast-paced world of packaging and material manufacturing. For manufacturers in Bangladesh and around the world, it is vital to distinguish the strength and durability of packaging materials like paper, cardboard, corrugated boxes, plastic films, and aluminum. For serving these purposes, Bursting Strength Tester Genie 2.0 — a highly advanced machine is designed, to improve and simplify burst strength testing, adhering to globally recognized standards.

The Importance of Burst Strength Testing

The burst strength of a material reflects its capacity to withstand applied pressure before failing. This is especially significant for manufacturers committed to maintaining high-quality standards for their products. Whether it's about ensuring packaging durability during transit or preserving material integrity under stress, the burst test machine is an essential tool in modern industries.

Standards of Excellence

The Bursting Strength Tester Genie 2.0 meets various industry standards, including:

ASTM D3786-01: Standard Test Method for Bursting Strength of Textile Fabrics—Diaphragm Bursting Strength Tester Method.

ASTM D3786-80a: Details advanced testing instruments for material evaluation.

IS 1060 PART-1 1987: Defines testing standards for paper and packaging materials.

These standards guarantee that the burst tester provides accurate, consistent, and repeatable results, aligning with global industry expectations.

How does the Bursting Strength Tester Genie 2.0 Work?

The burst test machine functions by applying hydraulic pressure to the material being tested. Key components and features include:

1. Hydraulic Pressure System

  • Utilizes glycerine or lab-grade glycol to create pressure.
  • Pure glycerine is crucial for ensuring accurate results.

2. Neoprene Diaphragm

  • Unaffected by temperature changes, ensuring reliable performance.
  • The thickness of the diaphragm varies based on the type of material and its ASTM standard.

3. Testing Modes  

The machine features two different testing modes to suit a range of materials:  

  • Low Capacity Mode: Designed for materials with a strength of less than 10 kg/cm², such as paper and plastic films.  
  • High Capacity Mode: Suitable for materials that exceed 10 kg/cm², including cardboard and corrugated boxes.  

The machine is calibrated to ensure accuracy in both testing modes.  

4. Computerized Model  

The sophisticated computerized model integrates smoothly with proprietary software, allowing for:  

  • Automated Test Results: Reduce human error with immediate data capture.  
  • Data Logging: Keep a detailed record of test results for future use.  
  • Profile Creation: Create customizable profiles for various material types and testing conditions.  
  • PDF Reports: Produce professional, shareable documentation of the results.

Versatile Applications

The burst testing machine is designed for a variety of materials, including:

  • Paper: Test the strength and durability of paper used in packaging and printing.
  • Cardboard and Corrugated Boxes: Verify structural integrity during transportation and storage.
  • Plastic Films: Evaluate thin, flexible materials commonly used in packaging.
  • Aluminum Sheets: Measure thicknesses up to 1mm for lightweight yet strong applications.

It’s important to mention that fabric testing is not suitable for this machine.

Pneumatic Models: An Alternative

For manufacturers who prefer pneumatic models of Burst Test Machine, a compressor is necessary to create the required pressure. While the main function remains unchanged, pneumatic models provide a different operational mechanism tailored to specific industrial environments.

Calibration and Accuracy

The machine’s calibration is adjusted based on the chosen testing mode—low or high capacity—ensuring accurate and dependable results every time.

Why Choose the Presto’s Genie 2.0?

  • Compliant with Industry Standards: Meets ASTM and IS standards for global reliability.
  • Innovative Design: Features advanced technology, including computerized reporting and customizable profiles.
  • Versatile Applications: Works with a wide range of materials, maximizing usability.
  • Robust Build: Constructed with a neoprene diaphragm and high-quality components for long-lasting durability and precision.

FAQs

1. Why should you use a Burst Testing Machine?

It can evaluate a variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, corrugated boxes, plastic films, and aluminum sheets (up to 1mm thick). However, it is not designed for testing fabrics.

2. How does the computerized model improve testing?

The computerized model provides automated test results, data logging, profile creation, and the ability to generate PDF reports. These features enhance accuracy, and efficiency, and simplify documentation.

3. What are the testing capacity ranges?

The machine functions in two modes:

  • Low Capacity: For materials with a strength of less than 10 kg/cm².
  • High Capacity: For materials with a strength of more than 10 kg/cm².

By investing in this burst tester, you ensure that your products not only meet but surpass expectations, protecting your brand's reputation and enhancing customer satisfaction.
