Compression Tests on Dimensionally Stable Packagings like Boxes, Barrels, Cartes a.s.o.
Servohydraulic compression testing machine with extra large compression platens and extra high testing chamber for testing of packagings with large dimensions.
The testing machines is specially configured according to the customer requirements for testing of different packagings:
- Determination of the inherent rigidity:
Here the force is measured, which a packaging can absorb and remove without buckling. The BCT - box compression test value can be calculated. This value of card board especially depends on the humidity in the air and in its own. - Determination of the stacking characteristics:
A force application until failure on several packagings allows to calculate the maximum allowed stacking height. The testing systems allows to run tests with empty or filled packagings - important when filled with a liquid. Tests are run with a predefined load over a predefined amount of time or with a constant increase of the applied force until failure.
