Core Compression (Flat Crush)
Core Compression Tester ( ISO 11093-9 method ) X Series
This ISO method was originally meant for Paper Cores only, but the application can be extended to
Plastic Cores as well.
Paper Cores are generally used for winding sheet material such as paper / plastic film / foil / textiles.
Material is usually wound on the paper cores with a little
tension or stretch. The paper cores are expected to
withstand the stress caused due to the winding tension
of the material they carry.
If the paper core is unable to withstand the original
winding tension or the increased stress due to material
shrinkage, it will collapse inwards.
Sometime the winding tension may not be very high and
the shrinkage may also be negligible, but during handling (or mis-handling) the roll may accidentally
drop on the floor, causing the shape of the core to change from round to oval.
In both cases, this can make the material unusable. Or at least prevent mounting the paper core on
the mandrel / chuck of the un-winder.
The strength (resistance to collapsing) of the paper cores depends upon:
- Quality and Quantity of paper
- Quality and Quantity of adhesive
- Manufacturing process
- Moisture content
- Physical size and dimensions
It is very difficult for a user (paper core buyer) to know all the above factors and their influence on
the strength of the paper core. It is equally difficult for even a core manufacturer to know the effect
of each variable quantitatively.
But by using the Core Compression Tester (also known as Collapsing Strength Tester or CS Tester), it
is very easy for both the paper core manufacturer and paper core user to differentiate between a
good or bad core and adopt a suitable standard of monitoring the quality of the same.
ISO Test Method 11093-9 Flat Crush Test :
The paper core is pressed between 2 flat plates at a constant
speed of 50-65mm/min and the maximum force required to
deform the core is recorded.
