What Is an Edge Crush Tester and Why Is It Crucial?


πŸ“Œ Introduction

An Edge Crush Tester (ECT) is a specialized device used to measure the strength of corrugated cardboard. It determines how much force the edge of a board can withstand before collapsing, a key factor in packaging durability.


βš™οΈ How It Works

The tester applies vertical pressure on a cardboard sample until it crushes. The measured force helps assess the material's compression strength, making it essential for predicting stacking strength during shipping.
