The packaging industry proves critical in getting products into consumers’ hands in great condition. One major parameter in packaging quality control is the bursting strength testing of materials. The test provides manufacturers with information on the amount of pressure a package can withstand before getting damaged or ruptured so that it safeguards the integrity of the packaging during shipping and handling. To enhance the manufacturing process, advanced lab testing equipment has been offered by Test Your Product for the bursting strength of packaging materials. The equipment is especially beneficial for industries relying on paper and paper-based products, which have been used widely in packaging over recent years. 

Why Bursting Strength Testing is Important

The stability of the packing materials, such as paper, corrugated boxes, and allied products, is very important. Bursting strength, then, is the amount of pressure a given material can withstand without failure or rupture. Therefore, testing is important for several reasons: 

• Damage in Transit: Strong packing protects the product inside against damage from external forces during shipping.
• Product Integrity: Good packaging assures that the product is intact and safe for end customers upon leaving the manufacturer’s hand.
• Customer Satisfaction: Good packaging creates a favorable customer impression regarding receiving goods in the best possible condition.

Common Challenges in Bursting Strength Testing and How to Solve Them

While users may experience different problems while using the equipment provided by Test Your Product, such problems can easily be solved in several ways. Here are just five of the most common problems associated with this equipment and ways to remedy them:

Socket Issues: If the socket doesn’t work, check to see if the power supply is properly connected. It can rectify the problem most of the time.

• Glycerin Leakage: Leakage happens quite often due to these loose parts. So, a wrench should be used to tighten the lower jaw to prevent further leakage.
• Faulty Bursting of Readings: If the sample does not burst properly, it may be due to damage in the diaphragm. Replacing the diaphragm will solve this problem.
• Invalid Outputs: The specimen alignment should be cross-checked before starting the test to avoid incorrect readings from a mismatch alignment of the specimens.
• Extraordinary Noise: Strange noises sometimes arise from loose screws. Keep checking the machine to tighten all screws for its smooth operation.
