ISO 12192 – Paper and board — Determination of Compressive Strength — Ring Crush Method

ISO 12192  specifies a method for the determination of the edgewise compressive strength (ring crush resistance) of paper and paperboard, especially board used in

the manufacture of fibreboard shipping containers.

This ISO standard  is applicable to all paper and paperboard with a thickness in the range 100 µm to 580 µm.

For samples having a thickness below 280 µm, test values can result from a combination of both buckling failure and pure compression.

*** Before conducting this ISO standard  , it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
