DIN 5014 is the test method for the compressive strength (strip crush resistance) of paper and board. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What DIN 5014 Covers
It measures the in-plane compressive strength of a paper or board strip, contributing to the understanding of stacking and packaging performance.
How the Test Is Run
A conditioned strip is supported and compressed in-plane until it fails, and the compressive (crush) resistance is recorded.
Why It Matters
Compressive strength contributes to packaging performance; a support fixture and controlled conditioning are needed.
Reading the Designation
Cited as DIN 5014 with its edition year. Confirm the edition and specimen or conditioning requirements before finalizing setup. To configure a paper testing setup, request a quote.
Related Standards
ISO 12192 covers edgewise compression and ISO 9895 covers short-span compression.
