Hey..what does Edge Crush Test really mean??

The edge crush test is a laboratory test method that is used to measure the cross-direction crushing of a sample of corrugated board. It gives information on the ability of a particular board construction to resist crushing. It provides some relationship with the peak top-to-bottom compression strength of empty singlewall regular slotted containers in laboratory conditions.
The edge crush resistance R, expressed in kilonewtons per meter (kN/m) is calculated by the equation: , where is the mean value of the maximum force and is measured in newtons. More details are laid down in ISO 3037.
Corrugated fiberboard can be evaluated by many material test methods including an edge crush test. There have been efforts to estimate the compression strength of a box (usually empty, regular singlewall slotted containers, top-to-bottom) based on various board properties. Some have involved finite element analysis.^[1] One of the commonly referenced empirical estimations was puplished by McKee in 1963.^[2] This used the board ECT, the MD and CD flexural stiffness, the box perimeter, and the box depth. Simplifications have used a formula involving the board ECT, the board thickness, and the box perimeter. Most estimations do not relate well to other box orientations, box styles, or to filled boxes.
In order to calculate the value of BCT (Box compression test), the formula of McKee would be the easiest but also the most inaccurate. The ratio of height to the circumference must be greater than 1:7; even then, are many reservations.
McKee formula:

U = box outline in mm

d = thickness of corrugated board in mm

How strong is your box???

please contact me if you have any questions!!

If you are new to buying boxes it is important to know a few things.
Measure Boxes the Right Way!

Length x Width x Height

The longer side of a box is the length. The shorter is the Width. The spine of the box is the height or depth.

"L" Always measure a box by the length first. This is always the horizontal measurement of the assembled box front. "W" The width is the measurement of the box from front to back. This is always the sides of the assembled box.
"H" The height or depth is the last measurement. It is the vertical measurement of the assembled box. Also, top to bottom as it sits.

The strength of a box is commonly measured in Edge Crush (ECT), Gross Weight Limit (lbs), and Bursting Strength (Test). This information lets you know how much weight can be put into each box and how much weight can be stacked on the boxes. Every box made in North America has a stamp on it that states the pertinent information for each carton. Test is an industry term for the bursting strength of the box, as measured in how much weight it can hold. Weight is the actual pounds a box can safely contain without damage. Edge Crush Test (ECT) is the pounds per square inch strength. Here is a conversion chart so you can compare the scale for each measurement:

1. Bursting Strength (MULLEN)	2. Maximum Weight Limit	3. Edge Crush Test (ECT)
125 Test	20 Lbs	23 ECT
150 Test	35 lbs	26 ECT
175 Test	50 lbs	29 ECT
200 Test	65 lbs	32 ECT
275 Test	95 lbs	44 ECT
350 Test	120 Lbs	55 ECT

1. Bursting Strength (MULLEN)	2. Maximum Weight Limit	3. Edge Crush Test (ECT)
200Test	80 Lbs	42 ECT
275 Test	100 lbs	48 ECT
350 Test	120 lbs	51 ECT
400 Test	140 lbs	61 ECT
500 Test	160 lbs	71 ECT
600 Test	180 Lbs	82 ECT
