Edge Crush Tester – Digital

The Edge Crush Tester measures the edge crush resistance of cardboard by applying compressive force to its edges using two rigid plates. The pressure is gradually increased until the maximum force the cardboard can withstand is determined. This test is crucial for evaluating the performance of cardboard packaging, ensuring it can endure stacking, transportation, and other pressures. It helps manufacturers and shippers confirm that the contents are safely protected during handling and transit.

Benefits of Edge Crush Tester

Edge crush tester is a beneficial testing instrument for a range of industries such as packaging, paper making, quality inspection etc. It is a great instrument for the determination of the probable compression strength of corrugated boxes. This is done by testing the paper board used in their manufacturing.

Edge crush tester is also known as Flat Crush tester or Ring Crush Twister

It tests the papers for corrugated boxes accurately. It can also be used for compression tests on small materials. Moreover, The rigidity of the CFB box is depicted by the higher ECT value determined by the ECT tester.

So, maybe the quality of the CFB board is compared to this.

In addition, by using Mckee’s formula, the compression strength of the box can also be determined.

The Mckee’s formula is: k.ECT * T * Z, In this formula, k is constant, ECT is the Edge Crush Test value, T is the thickness of the CFB board, Z is the parameter of the box

The edge-wise compression strength of corrugated boxes is important to test for determining the power of materials inside the boxes. It is important to determine whether the material withstands shipping pressure or not. 

Hence, to make this test easy for manufacturers, Effective Lab India has manufactured the ect for conducting the edge-wise compressive strength on materials.
