Bursting strength of material is a great indicator of the properties, composition, and strength of that material. The busting strength is the maximum amount of force that a material can bear under the effect of pressure applied to a rubber diaphragm through the articulation of liquid. The bursting strength of materials has a great significance in the field of packaging. In packaging industries, the materials that are used for manufacturing packaging containers and bags need to be tested thoroughly for their strength so that the safety of the products is not compromised at any cost. With the determination of bursting strength of material, the manufacturers can rest assured that they are delivering the best quality of products to the customers.
The bursting strength is calculated with the help of bursting strength tester which is provided with a rubber diaphragm and a pressure application arrangement that applies pressure to the test sample. The pressure applied on the sample is recorded on the load indicator and this value of force gives the value of bursting strength of the sample. After determining the bursting strength of the sample, the burst factor of the sample is calculated with the following formula:
Bursting Strength = (Bursting Factor x GSM)/ 1000
