Working Principle of Bursting Strength Tester

The mechanism of a digital bursting strength tester involves exerting hydraulic pressure on a sample material until it bursts. As the pressure builds, a diaphragm presses on the material, which is securely held in place. The instrument precisely determines the highest pressure that the material can bear before failing, giving an accurate assessment of its strength and resilience. Evaluating the performance and quality of materials such as paper, textiles, and packaging requires the use of this procedure.

We are going to share some knowledge on the bursting strength tester principle.

Preparation of Specimen: A circular sample of the material is clamped securely between the clamping rings of the instrument.

Application of Pressure: The rubber membrane or diaphragm that presses on the specimen is subjected to hydraulic pressure.

Pressure Increase: Until the specimen ruptures or bursts, the pressure is progressively raised. It is measured how much pressure is needed to create the rupture.

Calculating Bursting Strength: By dividing the highest pressure exerted by the area of the diaphragm in contact with the specimen, one can determine the bursting strength.

Results Displayed: The device then shows the bursting strength value, which indicates how much pressure the material can bear before rupturing.

While testing, a sample of the material is clamped between two plates. The pressure is applied to the plates until the material bursts.

It is the maximum pressure at which the material bursts. Hence, a carton bursting strength tester is critical for ensuring the durability and quality of materials.

Applications

The Digital Bursting Strength Tester is widely used across various industries, including:

Packaging: Testing the bursting strength of paperboard, corrugated cardboard, and other packaging materials to ensure they can withstand handling and shipping stresses.
Textiles: Evaluating the durability of fabrics and textiles used in clothing, upholstery, and industrial applications.
Paper Manufacturing: Assessing the strength of paper products, including writing paper, printer paper, and speciality papers.
Quality Control: Used in laboratories and production lines for routine quality checks and research purposes.

1: How do you calculate bursting strength?

Ans: Bursting strength is calculated with the help of a standardized test which is commonly known as the Mullen Burst test. In this test, pressure is applied to the sample until it bursts.

Burst factor = Bursting strength (gf/cm2) / Grammage (gf/m2)

2: What is the unit of BF on paper?

Ans: Usually the unit of bursting strength (BF) in paper is expressed as pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa).

3: What is the ISO for the bursting strength test?

Ans: The ISO for the bursting strength tester is 2758:2014. The standards and guidelines on test performance are provided by this ISO standard.

4: What is ASTM for bursting strength?

Ans: The ASTM for bursting strength is ASTM D3786. The procedures and guidelines for bursting strength tests of textiles are provided by this standard.
