Concora Corrugating Medium Test (CMT)

The Concora Corrugating Medium Test measures the crushing resistance of a laboratory fluted strip of corrugating medium, and provides a means of estimating the potential flat crush resistance of a corrugated board.  We run this test according to TAPPI Test Method T809. The method uses a laboratory fluter to prepare a fluted strip of board medium.  The flutes of this strip are then held in position with a piece of adhesive tape.  The prepared, fluted test-piece is placed in the compression tester and the compressive force at failure is measured.
