Compression Strength Tester For Transport Packages For Testing Lab Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Compression Strength Tester For Transport Packages.
Compression Strength Tester For Transport Packages -
Transport packages shall possess sufficient compression strength so
that they do not get deformed or crushed when stacked one above the
other, either during transit or in storage.
The compression
strength of transport packages is determined by placing the package on a
flat platform and pressing it down from top with the help of another
flat plate, either by a motor or by manual arrangement.
The Compression Strength Tester for
transport packages is fabricated out of rigid mild steel sections and
plates. The lower platen on which the box is kept for pressing is fixed
on the frame of the tester. The package under test is placed over this
platen and pressed down from top with the help of another platen. The
upper platen is moved down by means of a screw arrangement. This platen
is pivoted so that is can tilt to align its lower face with the top of
the package, if the top and bottom faces of the package are not
parallel. For conducting the edge and corner loading tests the upper
platen can be held rigidly so that it does not tilt.
The load
cell used for measurement of compressive force acting on the package
under test is mounted above the upper platen. The load is indicated on a
microprocessor based digital indicator. The load indicator has peak
force memory to indicate the maximum load at which the package failed,
and a relay with overload protection to stop the motor if the load
exceeds the maximum capacity of the load cell.
The movement to
the upper platen is given through a motor and gearbox arrangement. The
distance moved by the upper platen is indicated on a separate digital
display capable of measuring the distance to the nearest 1 mm. The
equipment has over-travel protection arrangement to stop the motor at
extreme limits of platen movement.
