Box Compression Tester

Product Details:

• The Box Compression Test measures the compressive strength of packages such as boxes, drums, and cans. It usually provides a plot of deformation vs compressive force. It is commonly used to evaluate shipping containers made of corrugated fiberboard as well as wooden boxes and crates. Industrial and consumer packages other than boxes can also be subjected to compression testing: drum, pail, bottle, tub, etc. Package components are also evaluated for compression resistance. Method of conducting the test as described in several published standard test methods is to compress a box at a constant rate of 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) per minute between two rigid platens. The test can be conducted on empty or filled boxes, with or without a box closure. Conditioning to standard temperature and humidity is important.

Features:

• Incorporated Micro Processor-based control panel, sophisticated electronic  controls for precision and easyoperation.
• Direct Digital Readout of Compression Strength with separate peak hold on bright LCD Display.
• Large LCD 105mm x 40mm for better view of readings.
• Electro Mechanical drive system as specified in IS 7028-VI.
• Ball screw driven frictionless movement of platen & servo motor makes machine  noise free in operation.
• Provision for termination of test at pre-selected load (This facility avoids destruction of the box).
• Over Travel Protection.
• Data analysis software for report preparation with graph
