1.1 ZwickRoell—Passion
and expertise

Our company philosophy is found-

ed on a passionate commitment
to our customers. We work hard
to ensure customer satisfaction by
having over a third of our employees
engaged in service and support.

As a family-owned company with a

tradition stretching back 160 years,
we place great value on honesty
and fairness. Over the years an
ethos of close collaboration based
on mutual trust between our part-
ners, suppliers and customers has
evolved, something that we all value
highly. Fig.1. Innovation Center at ZwickRoell's headquarters in Ulm, Germany

1.3 Reliable test results

Products
Reliable test results are a funda-
mental and hot topic in materials
testing. With each materials and
components test we ask the same
questions:

Is the value obtained accurate? Are

the results repeatable? Are these re-
sults comparable to other measure-
ments? Is it possible to trace who
did what, when and how? Does
the test equipment used satisfy all
the necessary specifications and
Standards

standards?
ZwickRoell's machine and software
solutions provide accuracy, repeat-
ability and reproducibility, as well as
complete traceability of test results.

measurement of the coefficient of
friction, properties such as static
and kinetic friction are determined in
accordance with TAPPI T 549.

less to the total fabric of the paper.

2.1.5 Short-span compression
test (SCT)

In the short-span compression test

(SCT) the compressive strength of
paper is determined to ISO 9895,
DIN 54518 or TAPPI T 826.

In the short-span compression

test the strength of the paper in
compression mode is determined.
Because only a very short length
of paper (0.7 mm) is used in the
test, greater account is taken of
the load-bearing fiber portion of the
material than with the traditional test
methods (ring crush test, corrugat-
ed crush test or linear crush test).
Determination of the compressive
resistance has now become estab-
lished as an alternative to the ring
Fig.2. Ring crush test (RCT)

2.1.6 Ring crush test (RCT)

The ring crush test (RCT) is used

to determine the ring crush resis-
tance of a paper strip formed into a
ring with a standardized length and
width. This test is performed to ISO
12192 and TAPPI T 822.

The ring crush test is similar to the

short-span compression test in that
the strength of the liner or fluting
is measured both in the machine
direction and perpendicular to it. It
is important that force application to
the specimen is exactly perpendicu-
lar during these tests.
The results of this test are highly
dependent on proper specimen
preparation. Specimen and guides
must be exactly parallel to ensure
accurate determination of ring crush
strength. As the ring crush test pro-
