Digital Bursting Strength Tester (Model BST-D3-P)

Digital Bursting Strength Tester BST-D3-P Manufacturer - Paper and Corrugated Box Testing - Vertex

At Vertex Engineers & Associates, we are a leading manufacturer and global exporter of high-precision packaging testing equipment. Our Digital Bursting Strength Tester with Inbuilt Thermal Printer (Model BST-D3-P) is engineered to evaluate the rupture resistance and structural performance of materials such as craft paper, corrugated boxes, paperboard, solid fiberboard, rexine, leather, industrial fabrics, plastic films, and foils. Operating via a controlled hydraulic mechanism, a rubber diaphragm applies multi-directional pressure using lab-grade 98% pure glycerin until the test specimen ruptures, capturing the exact peak burst pressure.

Designed for seamless digital workflow and instant quality documentation, the BST-D3-P model stands out with its inbuilt thermal printer and bright LCD color touch screen display. Powered by an advanced microprocessor, it allows operators to directly input GSM values to compute Bursting Strength (BS) and Burst Factor (BF) automatically on screen without manual calculations. The instrument features 5 selectable measurement units (Kg/cm², bar, Psi, N/cm², & Kpa), a PEAK Hold facility, single push-button operation, and grooved clamping structures to prevent specimen slippage under high pressure.

Strictly manufactured in compliance with international test standards such ASTM D3786/D3786M-18 (2023), ISO 2758 / ISO 2759, and IS 1828 (Part 1) : 2015, the BST-D3-P Bursting Tester offers a wide test range from 1 Kg/cm² to 50 Kg/cm² with ±1% accuracy. Equipped with PC software connectivity via RS232/USB for saving reports in Excel/PDF formats and dual calibration modes (online and offline), Vertex Digital Bursting Strength Testers deliver unmatched reliability for paper mills, packaging plants, textile labs, and converting industries worldwide.

Overview

The Digital Bursting Strength Tester (Model BST-D3-P) is engineered around a microprocessor controller and a ¼ HP 1440 RPM motor to deliver stable hydraulic loading using lab-grade 98% pure glycerin. The unit features a heavy-duty structural frame built from mild steel, gunmetal, and brass components, providing high mechanical stability across its entire 1 Kg/cm² to 50 Kg/cm² operating range.

The front control panel integrates a bright LCD color touch screen alongside an inbuilt thermal printer for immediate hardcopy documentation. The onboard firmware simplifies testing workflows through:

Automatic BS & BF Calculation: Operators input the specimen GSM value directly on screen, and the system automatically computes Bursting Strength (BS) and Burst Factor (BF).

Multi-Unit Digital Display:Instant switching across 5 measurement units (Kg/cm², bar, Psi, N/cm², and Kpa).

Peak Retention & Slippage Control:Automatic PEAK hold functionality combined with a grooved specimen holder and manual operating wheel ensures zero sample movement during test cycles.

For laboratory compliance and data management, the BST-D3-P features dual online/offline calibration modes adhering to IS 1828 (Part 1) : 2015 accuracy standards (±1% of reading). Built-in RS232/USB PC interface ports allow seamless export of test logs and graphical reports to desktop software for Excel/PDF report generation.

FAQ's

What is the Digital Bursting Strength Tester (Model BST-D3-P)? ▼
The Digital Bursting Strength Tester (Model BST-D3-P) by Vertex Engineers is an advanced packaging test instrument designed to measure the rupture pressure of paper, corrugated boxes, solid fiberboards, leather, rexine, and packaging films. It features a microprocessor control system, a color touch screen, and an inbuilt thermal printer for instant test result documentation.

What is the difference between Model BST-D3 and Model BST-D3-P? ▼
While both models offer digital microprocessor controls and color LCD displays, Model BST-D3-P includes an Inbuilt Thermal Printer directly on the panel for immediate hardcopy test reports without needing an external PC connection.

How does the direct Burst Factor (BF) calculation feature work on Model BST-D3-P? ▼
Operators can enter the paper or board specimen's GSM value directly on the bright LCD touch screen. The onboard software automatically calculates and displays both Bursting Strength (BS) and Burst Factor (BF) instantly, eliminating manual math errors.

What is the testing capacity and accuracy of the BST-D3-P Bursting Tester? ▼
Model BST-D3-P operates across a wide testing range of 1 Kg/cm² to 50 Kg/cm² with a least count resolution of 0.1 Kg/cm² and delivers high testing accuracy of ±1% as per IS 1828 (Part 1) : 2015 standards.

Which standard test methods does the Vertex BST-D3-P comply with? ▼
The equipment strictly complies with major national and international packaging and material testing standards including ASTM D3786/D3786M-18 (2023), ISO 2758 / ISO 2759, and IS 1828 (Part 1) : 2015.

What measurement units are available on the Digital Bursting Strength Tester? ▼
The system offers 5 user-selectable measurement units for flexible global reporting:
  • Kg/cm²
  • bar
  • Psi
  • N/cm²
  • Kpa

What type of test fluid and drive motor are used in the BST-D3-P? ▼
The instrument uses laboratory-grade 98% pure Glycerin as the hydraulic test fluid, driven by a reliable ¼ HP Single Phase, 1440 RPM motor to deliver smooth, uniform hydraulic pressure against the rubber diaphragm.

How does the machine prevent sample slippage during testing? ▼
The BST-D3-P features heavy-duty gripping clamps with a grooved structure on the test specimen holder. Combined with a manual operating wheel, it ensures uniform specimen clamping without slippage under high hydraulic load.

Does the BST-D3-P Bursting Tester support PC connectivity and report software? ▼
