What factors can influence COF measurements?

Image
Packaging films are widely used in the packaging industry for their ability to protect products during transportation. However, these films must be properly tested before they can be used. One important test is the co-efficient of friction test , which ensures that the films will not slide when stacked on top of each other. This test is essential to ensure that products are properly protected and that customers receive accurate and undamaged items. Thus, we at Presto have come up with a co-efficient of friction tester that helps you to conduct COF tests for plastic films. This lab testing instrument accurately measures the coefficient of sliding friction so that the plastic films and sheets can easily be stacked over each other. Whenever you are going to conduct a coefficient of friction test then we need to take care of some factors so that the results will not get influenced. The main purpose of conducting this test is to measure the stackability of plastic films. Here in this blog,

How You Can Check The Compression Strength Of Corrugated Boxes?

Image
Corrugated boxes are widely used in the packaging industry due to their durability and affordability. However, over time, even the well-made corrugated box will start to show signs of wear and tear. This is why it is so important to regularly test the  box compression strength  of these boxes. By doing so, manufacturers can ensure that their boxes will be able to withstand the rigors of transportation and storage. Thus, Presto has come up with one of the widely trusted testing instruments for testing the box compression strength of corrugated boxes. This instrument is known as a   box compression tester .   This  lab testing instrument  plays a vital role in the paper and packaging industry as it will accurately display the value of  box compression strength for corrugated boxes . Once you test your box for its compression strength then you will be able to maintain the integrity of the boxes while shipping and storage. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you the information abou

What is a Melt Flow Index Tester and how does it work?

Image
  The MFI Tester & Melt Flow Index Tester is one of the most important testing equipment used in plastic and polymer industry. This exquisite Melt Flow Index instrument proves to be effective in measuring the resistance to flow of a material such as a polymer that begins to melt at a certain temperature. This test is performed under a given force over a predetermined period of time. With the help of this test equipment, you can easily test the melt flow rate and viscosity under a certain load which is quite easy to use. If the molten material flow rate is high and is correlated with viscosity, the resulting value per unit flow rate will appear to increase as the resin viscosity decreases. If the melting rate of an element is low, then the possibility of increasing the viscosity increases. Thus, you can effectively use the Melt Flow Index Tester from Presto Testing Instruments. It has many features and benefits which helps you to test the sample easily. How will Melt Flow Inde

How Does Presto Bursting Strength Tester Works?

Image
  The packaging industry has seen a shift in recent years towards corrugated boxes, which offer a number of advantages over other materials. Corrugated boxes are widely used in the packaging industry makes easy for the customers to deliver the product accurately. One of the most important benefits of corrugated boxes is their high   bursting strength , which means they can support a greater weight without tearing or breaking. This makes them ideal for packaging products that are fragile or heavy. Thus, taking the   bursting strength test  with Presto   bursting strength tester   serves to be useful for your packaging industry. This is one of the highest quality lab testing instruments that will help you to test the  bursting strength of corrugated boxes , fiberboards, paper boards, etc. Thus, you can easily make use of this high-quality  box burst tester  to ensure that your boxes will not get burst during transit or storage. Here we are going to provide you the information about the w

Importance of color matching in product design

Image
  Color is one of the most important design elements in any project. The right color can convey the desired mood, create a sense of harmony, or make a space feel larger or smaller. However, because everyone perceives color differently, color matching can be a challenge. This is why it is so important to make the use of the right  color matching testing equipment  to determine the quality of colors. Presto has come up with one of the effective  lab testing instruments  known as  the color matching cabinet- Asia .  This precise and quality lab testing instrument will help you to maintain color consistency and quality. Thus, with the use of the Presto color matching cabinet, you can easily analyze the consistency of colors and make sure you deliver Metamerism-free products to your customers. Here in this blog, we are going to discuss the importance of color matching cabinets in product designing and how  Presto color matching testing equipment  is the best fit for matching colors of the p

Sterilizing Objects With Hot Air Oven

Image
Hot air oven is used for sterilization Hot air oven is used for sterilization -  Originally invented by Pasteur, a hot air oven is an electrical instrument that uses dry heat to sterilize. The heat operation ranges from 50°C to 300°C. The need for   Hot air oven   in the present scenario is tremendous in manufacturing, rubber, pharmaceutical laboratories, and plastics. Working is purely based on the thermostat to manage the temperature. Dry heat sterilization is applied to an instrument that is not wet. It cannot be implemented on a substance that melts, catches fire, or changes its form after its exposure to high temperatures. Moist heat sterilization is the method that uses water to boil objects or high-pressure steam to sterilize.   Hot air oven sterilizes objects such as glassware (test tubes, flasks, and pipettes), metal instruments (blades, scissors), powders (sulfadiazine, starch, zinc oxide), and materials that have oil and glass test tubes.   The components used for the dry h

How Does Humidity Chambers Work?

  How does Humidity Chamber Work? The  Humidity chamber  is a vital  testing instrument  for analyzing the prolonged the effect of humidity on components to fix its quality parameters. This instrument is not subjected to only one industry application. It is used in pharmaceuticals, plastic, and rubber industries for quality assurance testing. Why is Humidity Chamber used? Temperature and humidity testing help to determine the behavior of the components in severe test conditions and environments that involve fluctuating environments, high temperatures, and different relative humidity. The tests can be done with constant temperature and humidity in a static state and can be done in a dynamic state where the moisture is used to induce a failure of the components or materials. “Is it imaginable to produce an accurate level of humidity without the temperature control?” We usually find people asking such kinds of questions. Controlling the humidity of the chambers with accuracy and repeatabi
