Edge/Edgewise Crush Testing (ECT), Flat Crush Testing (FCT) and Ring Crush Testing are paper and board industry methods for evaluating the physical properties of these raw packaging materials. Paper and board, including corrugated paperboard (or fiberboard), are quality-checked using these methods for their physical strength. The performance of these basic materials used in consumer and transit packaging depends on physical integrity under a number of load conditions.
Test standards appropriate to these procedures include TAPPI T822, ISO 12192, TAPPI T825, ISO 3035 and TAPPI T811, ISO 3037.
Mecmesin also produces the SqueezerPro test system to crush complete boxes.
