Testing Standard:
TAPPI T804 Compression Test of Fiberboard Shipping Containers ie. TAPPI T804 Shipping Container Compression Test
Standard Number
TAPPI T804
Standard Title
Compression Test of Fiberboard Shipping Containers, Test Method
Overview for TAPPI T804 Shipping Container Compression Test:
Rationale for TAPPI T804 Shipping Container Compression Test:
This test method is useful in identifying the shipper’s max compression resistance. By testing it empty and by testing it full, the amount of load share expected from the inner contents can be calculated. In addition, by rotating the sample on its side or end, the max compression resistance can be obtained for these orientations, which simulates clamping forces. It is also possible to evaluate how the corrugated reacts to different environmental conditions, such as high humidity exposure.
Key Points:
- Confirms material selection will meet compression resistance requirements during box design
- Optimize costs by mitigating damages accrued through transit
- Verifies corrugated shipping container performance under compression
- Verifies percent load share of inner contents
