RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester

Corrugated boxes are strong and sturdy, but testing the edge-wise crushing strength of the materials is very important to know how well the box will withstand edge-wise compression forces. The edge crush strength is the maximum force that can be applied to the edges of a corrugated box before it tears or breaks. Thus, to make it easy for the manufacturers to conduct edge crush strength of the materials, we at Presto have designed one of the high-quality lab testing instruments known as the RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester. This is one of the consistent lab testing instruments that measure the rigidity of CFB edgewise. The microprocessor display embedded in this lab testing instrument will let you determine the accurate testing results. RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester Digital is a consistent tool to measure the crush strength of cardboard boxes and packaging containers. PRESTO RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester is manufactured under Test Standard IS 7063.

The edge crush strength of corrugated boxes can be important to know for a variety of reasons. For example, if the box is being used to contain fragile items, the strength of the edge crush could be a critical factor in ensuring that the contents do not get damaged. Additionally, if the box is being used for shipping purposes, it is important to know how much force it can withstand before breaking. Thus, with the use of the Presto edge crush testing instrument, it is important for the manufacturers to test the quality of boxes against damage. If the edge crush strength is not sufficient, the box may break during shipping or storage. This could lead to injuries or damage to the product.

The Presto edge crush tester is an accurate quality lab testing instrument that comes with strong gripping clamps and a bright LED display to test the results accurately. Besides this, it comes with an in-built calibration facility to ensure that customers will accurately use this lab testing instrument for a longer time. Below we have listed the features and technical specifications of this high-quality lab testing instrument.
