Bursting Strength Tester

Bursting Strength is a widely used measure of resistance to rupture of various materials. A test specimen is held between two circular clamps and subjected to an increasing pressure from a rubber diaphragm. The rubber diaphragm is expanded by a controlled hydraulic pressure until the test specimen ruptures. The Bursting Strength of the specimen is the pressure reading at the time of rupture.

SIGNIFICANCE
STANDARD COMPLIANCE

The Bursting Strength Test of paper, paperboard, including liner board and corrugated board, is a composite measure of certain properties of the sheet structure, principally tensile strength and elongation. In general, bursting strength is dependent on the type, proportion, preparation and amount of the fibre present in the sheet and their formation, internal sizing, and to some degree, the surface treatment. While bursting strength is an empirical property, this test, in combination with basis weight, serves to define “standard grades” in commerce.
