Burst Testers are used as a multi-directional tensile test to identify failure, called bursting strength, in the direction of least resistance for evaluating physical strength and fiber bond. Models are available to test paper, foils, and tissue. These models can also be fitted with a device to measure the deflection of the sample prior to burst.

The Burst Tester is designed to meet international standards for tests on paper, foils, paper boards, corrugated board, textiles etc.
