Inclined Impact Tester and Cobb Sizing Tester Reliable Quality Testing Solutions by Pacorr
Quality control plays a vital role in the packaging and paper industries. Products must remain safe during transportation and storage, while paper-based materials should maintain strength even when exposed to moisture. To achieve these quality standards, manufacturers rely on specialized testing equipment. Two widely used instruments for this purpose are the Inclined Impact Tester and the Cobb Sizing Tester.
Pacorr Testing Instruments provides advanced and dependable testing solutions that help industries maintain consistent quality and comply with international standards. More information is available at pacorr.com.
Importance of Material Testing
Packaging materials face mechanical stress such as impact and collision during handling and transit. If packaging fails, the product inside may be damaged. At the same time, paper and corrugated materials must resist water absorption to retain their strength and usability.
Material testing allows manufacturers to:
- Detect design or material weaknesses
- Improve packaging and paper quality
- Reduce product loss and customer complaints
- Maintain compliance with industry standards
The Inclined Impact Tester and Cobb Sizing Tester together provide a complete approach to evaluating both mechanical strength and moisture resistance.
Inclined Impact Tester: Testing Packaging Performance
Overview
The Inclined Impact Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of packaging to horizontal impacts. These impacts commonly occur during transportation when packages collide with surfaces or other packages.
Pacorr’s Inclined Impact Tester simulates these real-life conditions in a controlled laboratory environment, helping manufacturers improve packaging reliability.
Working Principle
A test package is placed on a wheeled trolley positioned on an inclined rail. The trolley rolls downward under gravity and strikes a rigid impact plate. The resulting impact tests the strength of the packaging and its ability to protect the product inside.
The test parameters can be adjusted to simulate different transportation conditions.
Applications and Benefits
- Corrugated box and carton testing
- Export and transport packaging evaluation
- Reduced product damage during transit
- Improved packaging design
- Compliance with ASTM and ISO standards
Pacorr’s tester is known for its sturdy construction, smooth operation, and accurate results.
Cobb Sizing Tester: Measuring Water Absorption in Paper
Overview
The Cobb Sizing Tester is used to measure how much water paper, paperboard, or corrugated material absorbs over a specific period. Water absorption directly affects paper strength and durability.
The result of the test is expressed as the Cobb value, measured in grams per square meter.
Working Principle
A paper sample is clamped under a metal ring, and a measured amount of water is poured onto its surface. After a set time, excess water is removed, and the increase in weight of the sample is measured to determine water absorption.
Applications and Benefits
- Paper and pulp manufacturing
- Corrugated board testing
- Improved moisture resistance control
- Consistent paper quality
- Compliance with ISO, TAPPI, and ASTM standards
Pacorr’s Cobb Sizing Tester is designed for accuracy, repeatability, and long-term use.
