Ring Crush Test (RCT) | Strograph™ E with RCT Jig | 210

Single column tabletop Tensile/Compression Tester (1kN max)

Strograph™ E line is a most cost effective single column tabletop universal testing machine (UTM)  with a maximum force capacity of 1kN which is suitable for testing tensile, compression, bending,  peeling, friction etc. of various kinds of materials such as plastic film,  elastomer, textile, paper etc.

 

Ring Crush Test (RCT) can be performed by replacing the jig.  Ring crush resistance permits estimation of compression strength of corrugated cardboard boxes and other containers made of paperboard, etc. when stacked one over the other and is considered an important factor for quality control. In this testing method compression strength is measured by forming paperboard sample into a ring and applying a load in axial direction.  Moreover, edge/end crush test (ECT) and flat crush test (FCT) also be conducted by attaching optional jigs to the machine.
