The Bursting Strength of sample is measured by applying the hydrostatic pressure required for producing rupture of the material, when pressure is applied at a controlled increasing rate through a rubber diaphragm. The value of bursting strength will give an indication of the maximum weight that may be carried in the box. The quality of corrugated boxes is graded based on the value of their bursting strength. Bursting Strength is a reliable index of the strength and performance of materials like paper, paperboards, corrugated boards and boxes, solid fibreboards, filter cloth, industrial fabrics, leather, Rexene, etc
Bursting strength is a widely used measure of resistance to rupture in various materials. A test specimen isheld between two circular clamps and subjected to an increasing pressure from a rubber diaphragm. The rubber diaphragm is expanded by a controlled hydraulic pressure until the test specimen ruptures. The bursting strength of the specimen is the pressure reading at the time of rupture.
