Standard: TAPPI
Method: T 807
Title: Bursting strength of paperboard and linerboard
Overview
This method describes a procedure for measuring the bursting strength of paperboard. A specimen is clamped between two platens with circular openings in their centers. An expansible diaphragm is distended through the lower platen by means of hydraulic pressure until the specimen bursts. For the bursting strength of paper, see TAPPI T 403 “Bursting Strength of Paper.”
Samples
To perform adequate testing ten, 8.5” x 11” sheets are requested. Ten replicates requiring an area of 4.0” by 4.0” are to be tested. Areas that contain 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.
