Burst Testers are used as a multi-directional tensile test to identify failure in the direction of least resistance for evaluating physical burst strength and fiber bond in textile and nonwoven materials. Models are available to test a variety of materials. 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.
