This standard covers a method designed to measure the bursting strength of paper and paper products which have a bursting strength of not over 14.06 Kg/cm2(200 psi) and are in the form of flat sheets not over 6.35 mm. (0.025 in.) thick.
The method is not intended for use in testing corru-gated boxboard, liner board, or hardboards that tend to cut the thin rubber diaphragm.
