Global Engineering Corporation is a leading manufacturer and supplier of quality testing equipments used in pulp, paper, printing, packaging, converting, plastics, rubber, textile, adhesive and chemical. The instruments are available to measure more than 50 properties including adhesion, abrasion, friction, compression, tensile strength, impact, internal bond, softness and thickness. Box Compression Tester is one of the most popular products from the company. It is a heavy-duty tester designed to determine the ability of corrugated or solid fiber shipping containers to resist external

compressive forces during transit & storage. Boxes can be tested to complete collapse or held automatically at a predetermined load for a given period to evaluate stacking loads. A recording d e v i c e i s i n c o r p o r a t e d t o indicate the force and

deformation (deflection) required to compress the container between two flat platens.

It is usually desirable to test the empty shipping container before filling of material to study of compressive resistance. This information used to provide an indication of the load that a particular container may be able to withstand in service. It may also be used o compare the compression characteristics of boxes differing in design or construction.

The Box Compression Tester also serves as a useful index of overall quality of the material and workmanship of the box.
