Corrugated sheets are used as packaging material and has numerous properties to assess the standard of a specific product. Some of the instruments required to measure the quality are edge crush test value or ECT value, compression strength, bursting strength etc.
Edge crush test is a test method which helps in evaluating the cross-direction crushing of a sample of corrugated board. The machine measures the crush resistance of a specific sheet material. It helps in measuring the peak to bottom compression strength of empty single wall regular slotted containers in laboratory conditions. The edge crush tester is a highly sort after instrument and is used to measure accurately the ECT value. The equipment adheres to all standards launched by international bodies.
The advantage of using an edge crush tester in the lab for quality checks is that it provides consistent and accurate results.
