1.1 This method describes procedures for determining the edgewise compressive strength (ECT), perpendicular to the axis of the flutes, of a short column of single-, double-, or triple-wall corrugated fiberboard ( 1 ).
This manual contains the TAPPI regulations and style guidelines for TAPPI Standards. The regulations and guidelines are developed and approved by the Quality and Standards Management Committee with the advice
This manual describes the procedures and policies whereby TAPPI Standards are developed and published. These regulations and guidelines are developed and approved with the advice and consent of the Quality and Standards Management Committee of the TAPPI Board of Directors. The requirements apply to
The edge crush test (ECT) to DIN EN ISO 3037 or TAPPI T 811 provides information on the strength of corrugated cardboard with flutes positioned vertically. It is important that force application to the specimen is exactly perpendicular during these tests.
What do we know about the relation of ECT to properties of the linerboard and medium? Koning reported long ago that ECT was strongly related to the sum of the ring crush values of the component facings and the medium with allowances for the additional length of medium in a unit length of combined
We publish 4 types of TAPPI Standards: TAPPI Test Methods are testing procedures. We use 6 different categories for our Test Methods: Official Method, Provisional Method, Standard Practice, Classical Method, Withdrawn Method, and Useful Method (UM). Learn more about these 6 categories.
Application: This work highlights the importance of identifying and developing more optimal test methodologies to measure the inherent compressive strength of corrugated materials (ECT).
