automatic bursting strength tester

Paper & Board Bursting Strength Tester China Manufacturer

Bursting Strength Tester is a frequently used paper and packaging testing machine used to determine the bursting strength of the paper or board subjected to increasing hydraulic pressure under specified conditions. Bursting strength is the maximum pressure exerted by the hydraulic system in forcing an elastic diaphragm through a circular area of the test piece when the pressure is applied.

It applies to all types of the board, including solid and corrugated fibreboard with bursting strengths within the arrange 350 kPa to 5,500 KPa. Paper or board with the bursting strength as low as 250 kPa can also be measured by this testing equipment If it is intended for the material of corrugated board with a higher bursting strength.

Amade bursting strength tester is designed on the basis of the Pascal Law: The pressure applied to the closed liquid can be transferred from the fluid in all directions with intact magnitude. The pressure is generated by a motor-driven piston forcing a suitable liquid against the inner surface of the diaphragm to bulge it outside the outer plane of the diaphragm plate until the test piece bursts.

Test Principle

A test piece is placed over a circular elastic diaphragm and rigidly clamped at the periphery but free to bulge with the diaphragm. Hydraulic fluid is pumped at a constant rate, bulging the diaphragm until the test piece ruptures. The bursting strength of the test piece is the maximum value of the applied hydraulic pressure.
