Puncture resistance, quasi-statical (temperature range - 40 up to + 120 °C)

Test performed with Zwick, tensile, compression tester, testing speed 25 resp. 100 mm/min. Tests carried out at room temperature for the standard price. For tests in the thermal chamber additional charge. The minimum and maximum technically feasible temperature ranges are dependent on the material. We will gladly advise you.

In short — AI-generated

This test measures the force required to puncture a flexible packaging material using a rounded probe at a constant, slow speed. The procedure is performed in a temperature-controlled chamber, allowing us to simulate conditions ranging from -40 °C to +120 °C.

The resulting value indicates the material's resistance to mechanical damage from sharp or protruding objects. This data helps developers select packaging that maintains its integrity during transport and storage, even under extreme thermal conditions.

Standard Tests

penetration Test ASTM F 1306

Specific Norm: ASTM F 1306

Test probe spherical, radius = 1,6 mm, vtest=25 mm/min. This test is particularly suitable for simulating the influences of coarse grain filling goods such as pasta, rice, granules.
