ASTM D642 / ISO 12048 Package Compression Test System

The LS-PUSH-600 package compression test system performs compression resistance and pressure retention testing on packaging containers and cartons in accordance with international standards including ASTM D642, ISO 12048, and GB/T 4857.4. This equipment provides critical data for packaging design optimization and finished product stacking height determination in industrial applications.

This system employs a high-precision transmission mechanism with dual ball screws and guide columns, enclosed within a high-grade painted enclosure to enhance structural rigidity and load efficiency. The control system utilizes a high-response frequency AC servo motor to ensure transmission efficiency exceeding 95%, with speed accuracy maintained within ±0.2% and operational noise below 70 dB.

The system applies uniform compressive force to test specimens through adjustable compression speed control, accurately capturing peak load, average load, and deformation data. Pressure holding duration can be programmed to simulate stacking conditions encountered during storage and transportation cycles. Multiple safety interlocks and overload protection mechanisms ensure testing process reliability.
