Edge Crush Tester – Precision Strength Testing Equipment

Introduction In the packaging and paper industry, ensuring that materials can withstand mechanical stress is essential for quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. One of the most important tests used to evaluate corrugated board strength is the Edge Crush Test (ECT) . The machine that performs this test is known as the Edge Crush Tester . This instrument measures the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated fiberboard — the type of material used in most shipping boxes and cartons. By determining how much pressure the board can endure before collapsing, manufacturers can predict how well the packaging will perform during stacking, shipping, and handling. The Edge Crush Tester has become a standard in the packaging industry, used globally by manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and research institutions. It helps maintain consistent product quality, ensures compliance with international testing standards, and optimizes packaging design to reduce material costs w...
