SCAN P27 is a crush testing standard that was developed to measure the strength of your sample materials.
To carry out a successful crush test to SCAN test and measurement standards you’ll need to invest in a suitable crush tester.
Compression and crush testing are common and essential parts of any corrugated, paper and board QA process. There’s a variety of different crush tests that are designed to illustrate the peak load that a sample can handle.
Crush testing methods and standards were created to develop a common basis for communication between paper and card manufacturers and their customers. These inspection approaches are typically developed by industry and follow internationally recognized principles.
So, how can Industrial Physics improve your SCAN P27 crush testing?
