ISO 7763: Compressive strength (S-shape) test for paper and board

← Back to all standards

ISO 7763 is the test method for the compressive strength of a paper sample fixed into a corrugated form (corrugating medium test). To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 7763 Covers

It measures the compressive strength of the fluting medium used in corrugated board, a property that contributes to the boards edgewise crush performance.

How the Test Is Run

A paper sample is formed into a corrugated shape and compressed, and the compressive strength that the medium contributes is recorded.

Why It Matters

Medium strength feeds the performance of corrugated board; a fixture suited to the formed sample and controlled conditioning are needed.
