Abstract:
A board testing apparatus and method and in particular a testing apparatus for testing a board made of a corrugated material, such as corrugated cardboard, for failure characteristics. The method comprises taking a corrugated board from a corrugator or converter, locating at least a part of the board into a testing machine, performing a non-destructive compression test on a sample region of the part of the board within the machine and providing a compression test characteristic reading of that region of the board, comparing that characteristic reading against a predefined acceptable compression test characteristic reading that design of corrugated board should have and concluding from the comparison as to whether the board, or that sample region of the board, meets a required compression stiffness parameter.

Claim (Index 3):
The testing machine of  claim 2 , wherein the database or look-up table comprises data comprising at least one of a deflection response and a force response and the database or look-up table further comprises data comprising the form of the design of the board itself, the design data comprising at least one of flute profile type, material weight, and material type.
