BOX COMPRESSION TESTER (1000*1000)

Product Description

A Box Compression Tester (BCT) is a device used to determine the compressive strength of boxes, particularly corrugated cardboard boxes. It's an essential tool in packaging, logistics, and quality control to ensure boxes can withstand the stacking and handling stresses they encounter during shipping and storage. --- Purpose of Box Compression Testing Measure maximum load a box can withstand before collapsing. Evaluate stacking strength for warehouse or shipping conditions. Ensure packaging compliance with industry standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO). Help optimize packaging materialbalancing strength and cost. --- How It Works 1. A box is placed between two horizontal compression plates. 2. The top plate applies a gradual downward force at a controlled rate. 3. The tester records the maximum force before the box fails (crushes or buckles). --- Key Parameters Measured Maximum Compression Force (typically in kN or pounds) Deformation/deflection under load Test speed (usually 1015 mm/min) Load vs. time or displacement curve --- Key Features of a Box Compression Tester Digital or touchscreen control interface High-precision load cell Adjustable test speed and dimensions Data export via USB, printer, or software Compliance with standards: ASTM D642 ISO 12048 TAPPI T804 --- Applications Corrugated cardboard boxes Plastic or wooden crates Packaging design testing QA in manufacturing and logistics
