PPITA/AS 1301.429s

Introducing APPITA/AS 1301.429s – Industrial Physics

APPITA/AS 1301.429s is a flat crush testing approach that was developed to measure the strength of corrugated boards using a compression tester.  

Appita is a not-for-profit industry association that supports the advancement of the pulp, paper packaging and bioproducts industries across Australasia. 

The APPITA/AS 1301.429s flat crush test procedure

To perform a APPITA/AS 1301.429s flat crush test you subject a test specimen of corrugated board to increasing force, applied perpendicularly to the surface by a compression tester. The crush test continues until the fluting collapses and then the maximum force sustained is recorded. 

APPITA/AS 1301.429s flat crush testing requirements

To perform a successful crush test to APPITA/AS testing standards you’ll need a motor-driven type compression tester and cutting instruments. 

You’ll need to test several samples of the board you want to understand. They should be free from converting machine marks, printing, or damage.
