1. Scope
1.1 This test evaluates the ability of corrugating medium to contribute to the compression strength of a
corrugated box. It is a procedure for measuring the edgewise compression strength of a laboratory-fluted strip of
corrugating medium in a direction parallel to the fluted tips.
1.2 Fluted edge crush is also measured in TAPPI T 843 "Fluted edge crush of corrugating medium (rigid
support method)," which uses a rigid platen compression machine instead of a flexible beam machine as used in this
procedure.
