Corrugating Medium Test (CMT)

DIN EN ISO 7263-1/-2, TAPPI T 809

Brief explanation of the test:

  • One side of the formed corrugated medium is adhered to a backing strip and subjected to compressive loading.
  • The maximum load characterizes the behavior of multi-wall corrugated board during subsequent processing operations (punching, printing).
  • It is important that force application to the specimen is exactly perpendicular during these tests.
  • Disadvantages of this method: Only the A and B flutes are tested. The behavior of other types of fluting must therefore be determined mathematically in order to obtain their crush resistance.
