AS 1301.403:2019 PDF
The objective of this Test Method is to specify a method for measuring the bursting strength of paper submitted to increasing hydraulic pressure. It is applicable to paper having bursting strengths within the range 70 kPa to 1 400 kPa. It is not intended to be used for the components (such as fluting medium or linerboard) of a combined board, for which the method given in AS 1301.438 is to be used.
In the absence of any commercial agreement as to which method should be used for testing the material, materials with bursting strengths below 600 kPa should be tested according to this Test Method.
This Test Method is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO 2758:2014, Paper — Determination of bursting strength. The modifications are additional requirements and are set out in Appendix ZZ, which has been added at the end of the source text.
Appendix ZZ lists the variations to ISO 2758:2014 for the application of this Test Method in Australia.
