Key Product Features

Bursting & tearing - authoritative research validating the key role of burst-strength evaluation for paper/film/board.

Falling-Hammer Energy Method

A specified Hammer falls at an angle through the specimen; the energy lost on passage is recorded as the strength.

5 Energy Scales

Standard/A/A+B/A+B+C scales, a wide 0~5.1 J to 0~41.4 J range suiting thin and thick board.

Selectable Hammer

Selectable Hammer capacity matched to board thickness/flute type.

Height-Adjustable Grips

Height-adjustable Hammer grips for different specimen thicknesses.

Packaging Puncture Resistance

Dedicated to puncture strength of board and corrugated board, supporting packaging-transport reliability evaluation.

Board Puncture Strength
Packaging Puncture-Resistance Evaluation

The QM170 board puncture strength tester releases a triangular-cone pendulum from a fixed angle through the specimen and measures energy loss to evaluate puncture strength of board and corrugated board. It offers five energy scales (Standard/A/A+B/A+B+C, 0~5.1 J to 0~41.4 J) to suit different grammage board and corrugated-carton test needs.

From corrugated cartons to folding cartons - board may be struck by sharp objects during transport and use, and puncture strength directly affects packaging protection. Pendulum-energy testing gives stable, reproducible data and is a routine QC item in the packaging industry.

Designed for board puncture-resistance evaluation - pendulum energy method plus five ranges, with reproducible puncture-strength data.
