Paperboard/paper tubes/paper

Paper is a versatile material that is used in numerous industrial applications—from packaging and print products to paper for technical applications. Comprehensive material testing is essential to ensure the quality, resilience and safety of paper, cardboard and tissue products. International standards play a decisive role here, in particular the ISO and TAPPI standards, which set the global standard for paper testing procedures.
Important test methods for paper and cardboard
Cardboard | Corrugated board | Box compression test / stacking test (BCT)；Edge crush resistance (ECT)；Flat crush test (FCT)；Flexure test / Quality of creasings；Puncture test (LPET vs. PET)；Coefficient of friction；Corrugating medium test (CMT)； Short-span compressive strength (S-test)；

Paper | Zero-span tensile strength

Paper & cardboard | Compressive strength / ring crush test (RCT)；Compressive strength / short clamping test (SCT)；Internal bond test / Z-direction tensile test；Tensile test dry；Wet strength / wet tensile test；

Paper, cardboard & corrugated board | burst test；Flexure test / stiffness under flexure (2-point, 3-point, 4-point)

Important test methods for tissue
Paper | Tissue | Burst strength / puncture test；Tensile test dry；Wet tensile strength；
