ISO 3037 is the test method for the edgewise crush resistance (ECT) of corrugated fibreboard using an unwaxed-edge method. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 3037 Covers
It measures the edgewise crush resistance of corrugated board, a primary predictor of the compression strength of the finished box.
How the Test Is Run
A conditioned corrugated specimen is stood on edge and compressed until it crushes, and the edgewise crush resistance is calculated from the peak load and specimen width.
Why It Matters
ECT is a key input to box compression prediction; a support fixture and controlled conditioning are essential.
