JIS Z212

Introducing JIS Z212 – Industrial Physics

JIS Z212 is a Japanese national testing standard that’s used to determine the that was established to help you to determine the compression resistance of packaging.  

Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specifies the standards used for industrial activities in Japan. The standardization process is coordinated by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee and published through the Japanese Standards Association. 

The performance of a container in production and transit is critical to the manufacturer. Product failures during filling, packing, warehousing and shipping are costly and can easily be prevented when containers and finished goods are tested for compressive strength. 

By following the JIS Z212 compression testing standard you’ll be able to evaluate the compressive strength of your packaging. To determine if its design and materials offer the level of protection you need.  

Why is compression testing important?

Compression and crush testing are common and essential parts of any corrugated, paper and board QA process. There are various tests designed to illustrate the peak load the sample can handle.  

You can test and evaluate the strength of your materials, products, and components with a compression tester. A compression tester will accurately measure strength, yield strength and deflection, showing you how much pressure your packages can withstand! 

Compression testing can be carried out on materials including corrugated paper, paper, plastics and polymers. 

Our compression testing technology

So, how can Industrial Physics support your compression testing to JIS Z212 standards? 

Testing Machines Inc. Box Compression Testers 

At Industrial Physics we offer a wide selection of box compression testers to suit your specific box size.  

Our bench mounted box compression testers are best for small to medium sized boxes. These compact, bench-mounted units have full computer control and precision AC servo drive systems. The lower platens are mounted on four balanced load cells for improved accuracy and tolerance of uneven loading. 

Be sure to check out our full range of compression testing equipment from across the Industrial Physics family of brands.

We’ve learnt a thing or two about paper and board testing over the decades. Now Industrial Physics is recognized as a brand that likes to bring new, innovative compression testers to market. 

We like to share our knowledge and we’re here to help you to answer your questions about compression testing. Across the knowledgebase section of our website we publish lots of blogs on related subjects. First up, why not try this blog that explores the merits of short-span compression testing? Then you could download our whitepaper on physical testing application information of paper and board.
