Test Methods

Standard:      TAPPI

Method:         T 403

Title:               Bursting strength of paper
  
Overview
This method measures the maximum bursting strength of paper in the form of flat sheets. It is not intended for use in testing corrugated, fiberboard, linerboard, or hardboards that tend to cut the thin rubber diaphragm of the bursting tester. For testing paperboard and linerboard, see T 807 “Bursting Strength of Paperboard and Linerboard.” Bursting strength is widely used as a measure of resistance to rupture in many kinds of paper.
 
Samples
To perform adequate testing ten, 8.5” x 11” sheets are requested. Twenty replicates requiring an area of 2.5” by 2.5” are to be tested. Areas that contain watermarks, creases, or visible damage can not be tested. If sample quantity is limited, testing can be done by sampling fewer sheets and/or performing fewer replicates. This sampling information should be adequate for four or five TAPPI methods per request. If more methods are requested, please call to verify the necessary amount of sample.
