PCECT Edge Crush Tester

 PCECT Edge Crush Tester

An edge crush tester is a device used to measure the edgewise compression strength of corrugated cardboard. This measurement, known as the Edge Crush Test (ECT), is essential for determining the stacking strength of a cardboard box, which is crucial for packaging design and logistics. The tester applies a compressive force to a small section of the material until it collapses, and the maximum force sustained is recorded. The results from this test help manufacturers ensure that their cardboard packaging can withstand the pressures of stacking during shipping and storage, optimizing both product safety and cost efficiency. Edge Crush Tester brings hi-end features and technology to test packaging box raw material like corrugated or non-corrugated cardboard sheets. The edge crush tester evaluates how resistant a cardboard edge is against a vertical crushing load. It can analyze the strength and sturdiness of cardboard sheets by performing Edge Crush Test (ECT). With the precise value of ECT, the manufacturer can categorize the material for packaging box use and have a reality check on how the cardboard will perform.
