Testing Standard:
TAPPI T810 Bursting Strength of Corrugated and Solid Fiberboard
Standard Number
TAPPI T810
Standard Title
Bursting Strength of Corrugated and Solid Fiberboard, Test Method
Overview:
TAPPI T810 Test Method details the method of obtaining the maximum bursting strength measurement of corrugated board and other solid fiberboard materials with a burst strength range of 690 – 4825 kPa (100 – 700 psi). This property is essential when evaluating the strength of paper for puncture resistance. Purple Diamond Testing offers TAPPI T810 Bursting Strength of Corrugated and Solid Fiberboard as part of our packaging compliance and validation services.
Rationale:
TAPPI T810 – Bursting Strength of Corrugated and Solid Fiberboard. Can be used to evaluate the strength of corrugated and solid fiberboard materials that fall within the above parameters. Inexpensive and relatively easy to perform, this test method yields results that simulate the strength characteristics of some end use requirements. This is achieved by securing the material between annular clamps and applying increasing pressure through a rubber disk until failure occurs. The maximum pressure up to material rupture is recorded as the bursting strength.
Key Points:
- Correlates directly to the thickness of the material
- Correlates to some end use requirements
- Verifies strength of material according to the manufacturer’s certification specifications
- Consider TAPPI T403 for paper weighing less than 20 lbs/MSF
- Consider TAPPI T807 for paperboard and linerboard materials
