Bursting Strength Tester-Digital Pneumatic

Overview 

A bursting strength tester is a critical quality control tool employed for the determination of the resistance of materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric, and corrugated sheets to bursting under pressure. It measures the maximum pressure needed to burst the sample, which in turn indicates its durability and strength. 

The tester is based on the hydraulic pressure principle, in which even pressure is applied through a rubber diaphragm until the material bursts. The value of bursting strength obtained indicates the material's resistance to mechanical stress in packaging, handling, and distribution, maintaining the integrity of the products and structural integrity of the package.

How Does the Bursting Strength Tester Work?

In a bursting strength testing machine, the test specimen is placed between two circular discs in a special fixture. The test specimen is then subjected to hydraulic pressure through a flexible rubber diaphragm, taking up the hydraulic pressure uniformly and, thereafter, elongating the material to the point of bursting. The highest pressure that is recorded at the point of the specimen bursting is the bursting strength of the material.     

Benefits of Bursting Strength Tester 

Here are the benefits of the Bursting Strength Tester explained in detail:

Maintains Material Quality

The Bursting Strength Tester assists manufacturers in evaluating the integrity and uniformity of packaging materials such as cardboard and paper. Through their pressure resistance, it ensures that only high-quality, dependable materials are utilized for manufacturing, reducing failures and optimizing overall product performance while being handled and transported.

Minimizes Product Damage

Through testing the bursting strength of packaging materials, companies can make boxes or containers capable of withstanding mechanical pressure. This minimizes bursting, tearing, or crushing during transportation, ultimately preventing damage to products and enhancing customer satisfaction by ensuring goods arrive safely and undamaged.

Facilitates Cost Efficiency

Pre-production testing of materials prevents expensive packaging failure. The Bursting Strength Tester facilitates proper material grade selection, minimizing rework and waste. It guarantees packaging strength compliance without unnecessary consumption of resources, resulting in optimal costs and raw material utilization.

Supports Quality Control Compliance

The tester assists manufacturers in fulfilling national and international packaging regulations by delivering accurate bursting strength results. It ensures quality norms compliance, adds value to the brand reputation, and offers credible information for audits, certification, and customer assurance of product durability and safety in transit.

Applications of the Bursting Strength Tester 

Here are the applications of the Bursting Strength Tester summarized in detail:

Paper and Packaging Industry

In the paper and packaging industry, the digital Bursting Strength Tester measures the strength of paper, paperboards, and corrugated boxes. It validates that the materials are capable of resisting external pressure while packaging, storing, and transporting, thus avoiding bursts and guaranteeing the safe arrival of goods to consumers or retailers.

Textile Industry

In the textile industry, this tester measures the bursting strength of fabrics, leather, and plastic materials. It measures the resistance of the fabric against rupture when subjected to stress, with manufacturers ensuring quality control, durability, and performance levels in garments, upholstery, industrial fabrics, and all other textile-based uses.

Plastic and Flexible Packaging Industry

The testing device is used to test films, laminates, and plastic sheets in flexible packaging. This is to be sure that the materials used are structurally sound and will not burst while they are being filled, sealed, or transported. This keeps all packaged products safe from intrusion, leakage, and/or contamination. 

Corrugated and Carton Manufacturing

Corrugated carton and box producers employ the Bursting Strength Tester to inspect the strength and load capacities of packaging materials. It allows for the selection of boxes for different shipping and storing conditions, so that the package remains undamaged by compressions, handling pressures, and stacking forces.
