However, if you have specific size requirements, you can easily consult with us by calling us at +919210903903 or emailing us at info@prestogroup.com to discuss customization options. Depending on your needs, customization may be possible for this quality testing equipment.
Q :What is the test speed of the digital cum computerized model of the ECT tester?
A :The Presto Crush/RCT/ECT/FCT Digital Cum Computerized Model operates at a test speed of 12.5±2.5 mm per minute. This controlled test speed is essential for consistent and reliable results.
Q :How does the Inbuilt Hardware and software CD system enhance testing capabilities?
A :The Inbuilt Hardware and software CD system allows for computerized data analysis and storage. It provides advanced features for data management, trend analysis, and report generation, making it ideal for organizations that require extensive data recording and analysis.
Q :How can I request a demonstration or obtain more information about this model?
A :To request a demonstration or gather more details about the Presto Crush/RCT/ECT/FCT Digital Cum Computerized Model, please give us a call at +919210903903 or email us at info@prestogroup.com. Our team of technical experts will be happy to assist you with your inquiries and provide the information you need.
Q :Can we perform multiple crush tests using Presto Digital cum Computerized crush tester?
A :Yes, this digital cum computerized model is capable of conducting three essential types of crush tests: Ring Crush (RCT), Edge Crush (ECT), and Flat Crush (FCT). It adheres to established industry standards for each of these tests. This makes it highly suitable for testing laboratory environments where precision and accuracy are essential.
Q :How the quality of a corrugated fiberboard (CFB) box is determined using the ECT Tester?
A :The ECT value obtained through testing with the ECT Tester reflects the rigidity of the CFB box. This value can be used to compare the quality of different CFB boards. Moreover, it's possible to determine the compression strength of the CFB box using McKee's formula: Compression Strength = K * ECT * T * Z Where: K = Constant ECT = Edge Crush Test Value T = Thickness of CFB board (wall thickness) Z = Perimeter of the box (2 L + 2 W)
