TAPPI T 811 OM 2011 provides procedures for determining the edgewise compressive strength of single-, double-, and triple-wall corrugated fiberboard with the flutes loaded vertically. The method covers specimen cutting, waxed-edge reinforcement, conditioning, compression test equipment requirements, test execution using rigid-support or flexible-beam compression testers, result reporting, and precision information.
This 6-page PDF is intended for laboratories, packaging engineers, quality teams, and manufacturers that evaluate corrugated board performance and compare lots, material combinations, or shipping container board constructions.
Application Scope: Applicable to edgewise compressive strength testing of corrugated fiberboard using the short column test, including waxed-edge specimen preparation and controlled compression loading for packaging and containerboard quality assessment.
