What Is Ect Material

ECT is a measure of the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated board. … It is measured by compressing a small segment of board on edge between two rigid platens or plates perpendicular to the direction of the flutes until a peak load is established.

What is 32 ECT corrugated boxes?

test refers to bursting strength, while 32 ECT refers to stacking strength. Boxes that meet 200 lb. test will also exceed 32 ECT stacking strength. Uline and UPS recommend 200 lb. test boxes, which provide more strength and protection than 32 ECT boxes – a budget-friendly alternative for lightweight shipments.

What is ECT unit?

ECT is a measure of the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated board. It is measured by compressing a predefined section of board on its edge between two rigid platens. This compression is performed perpendicularly to the direction of the flutes until the board collapses and a peak load is reached.
