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 ).

The Edge Compression Test method or ECT describes procedures for determining the edgewise compressive strength, parallel to the flutes, of a short column of single-, double-, or triple-wall corrugated fiberboard (constant strain rate, or constant load rate).
SGS-IPS performs a wide variety of pulp and paper testing methods which are listed below. Click on the method number of interest to see more details about the TAPPI test method, sample requirements and other pertinent information.
We present a detailed exploration of ECT results for specimens whose edges deviate from parallel with varying severity. We work to identify causes of variation in dimensional measurements and the corresponding ECT values across several industry standard cutters.
The edge crush test that is to be used in determining compli- ance with the new Alternate Rule 41/Item 222 is described by TAPPI Test Method T 811 (1). Briefly, this method pre- scribes a test specimen 2 in. wide with varying height, de- pending upon the flute construction.
