L&W Autoline Bursting Strength, code 520 U (J-type). L&W Autoline Bursting Strength module measures bursting strength from the bottom side, or top side of paper and paper board. Bursting strength (Mullen test) is a traditional measurement of paper strength. Bursting strength tests are typically performed on papers and boards used in packaging – it is a measurement of a sample’s resistance to rupturing. Bursting strength is a function of various processes performed in the papermaking process. Increased use of fillers decreases bursting strength, while increased use of longer fibres and surface sizing increases a paper’s bursting strength. L&W Autoline Bursting Strength measures bursting strength of a paper or board from the bottom or top side of a sample, and the module is available in different versions depending on the sample (P-model for paper, and J-model for board). •L&W Autoline Bursting Strength, code 519 – upper/lower for paper •L&W Autoline Bursting Strength, code 520 – upper/lower for board Measurement results Three different test results can be reported after a single measurement; standard bursting strength, compensated bursting strength, and bursting energy absorption (BEA). Compensated bursting strength For low bursting strength levels, the stiffness of the diaphragm can account for a large portion of the bursting strength value. If desired, the system can report effective bursting strength, compensated from the effects of the diaphragm. Bursting Energy Absorption (BEA) BEA is used to determine the energy absorption capability of a material. Strong, flexible paper has higher energy absorption values, while brittle and stiff paper has lower values. L&W Autoline Bursting Strength reports BEA according to the SCAN P 24 standard (applies to the paper version). Measuring principle The test piece, placed over a circular elastic diaphragm, is rigidly clamped at the periphery but free to bulge with the diaphragm (see sketch next page). Hydraulic fluid is pumped at a constant rate, bulging the diaphragm until the test piece ruptures. The bursting strength of the test piece is the maximum value of the applied hydraulic pressure. Lorentzen & Wettre Specification METHOD Description: Bursting strength is defined as the maximum uniformly distributed pressure, applied by an elastic diaphragm square to the paper surface that the paper can withstand without breaking. Bursting Energy Absorption (BEA) is the total work done per unit area of a paper or board when it is stretched to rupture. Bursting energy absorption is expressed in J/m². P = hydraulic pressure during measurement V = volume acting on the test piece BEA = A1/a2 A1 = area under the pressure/volume curve a2 = area of opening in the bursting strength tester L&W Autoline Bursting Strength, – code 519 U, P-type, upper (bursting strength from top side) – code 519 L, P-type, lower (bursting strength from bottom side) – code 520 U, J-type, upper (bursting strength from top side) – code 520 L, J-type, lower (bursting strength from bottom side) Measurement range P-type (paper): 70–2000 kPa (10–290 psi) J-type (board): 170–5000 kPa (25–725 psi) Clamping force Adjustable between: 1000–6000 N (225–1350 psi) Applicable standards P-type: APPITA AS 1301.403, BS 3137, JIS 8112, PAPTAC D.8, ISO 2758, SCAN P24, TAPPI T403 J-type: APPITA AS 1301.438, ISO 2759, SCAN P25, TAPPI T807 P A1 Clamping device V Use: Bursting is a method with a very long tradition and is considered to be a general indicator of the strength and toughness properties of paper. Bursting strength are common in the product specification for different packaging grades such as linerboard and sack paper. Test piece Diaphragm Control: Bursting strength increases, for example, with grammage/ basis weight, wet pressing, MD/CD ratio and refining. Liquid A basic sketch of the measuring head. L&W Autoline Bursting Strength mounted together with L&W Autoline Tearing Strength in the same module (code 582 – a common combination module). An extra diaphragm holder for quick change of the diaphragm, and a bulge height template for verification of the diaphragm stiffness are supplied in an accessory case. www.lorentzen-wettre.com
