If you are stacking toilet paper in a dry stable climate you may choose a very low Safety Factor. If you are stacking lawn mowers in a hot and humid climate with wide changes, you would likely want a great safety factor. That being said, normal industry Safety Factors often fall between 3 and 5. Hope that helps, but I cannot tell you what is right for your situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826970312520146262.post-26584004277830463222019-03-21T15:15:32.447-05:002019-03-21T15:15:32.447-05:00What is the thinking behind the 4.5 Safety Factor?...What is the thinking behind the 4.5 Safety Factor?

Is this something that you have had troubles with when quoting? The value could change from any number of factors, such as the season. Isn't guaranteeing a BCT opening your company up to a whole new world of failures and quality issues? what if you are sent samples to test and they have been converted and crushed more than the RSC's that were tested to assign a BCT? I understand the concept however, I don't agree with the real world use when assigning this value to a spec or specific carton. Just a thought from a passer by.

Most corrugated Sales reps really don't know the difference & sell on price, so they are going to go with ECT almost every time.

My question is related to ECT in this first example. For instance, I might send a set of glasses packed first in a 12”x12”x6" box with an ECT of 32 lbs/in. (Assume that the glasses are well packed internally and pass the “Shake” Test so that there is nothing you can hear or feel during the “shake” test). Then this first box in packed in a larger 16” x 16” x 10” with a Burst Test of 200 lbs/in (no ECT noted on this box). I have also filled around the first box so it is completely surrounded with 2” of styrofoam pellets to insure that it will also pass my “shake” test.<br />Question: With this type of double boxing have I increased anything for the first box (ECT or Burst Test)?<br /><br />The second example is for Weight Limits. For instance, the first box has a Gross Weight Limit of 65 lbs and its actual weight is 80 lbs. I then pack it in another box with the same Gross Weight Limit of 65 lbs. This second box and filler adds 2 lbs. <br />Question: Did I gain anything by double boxing for the increased weight of the first box. Is the box now technically “legal” to meet the combined weight?<br /><br />Will appreciate your answer.

Burst strength measures the amount of force required to puncture through the corrugated materials. These are essentially different metrics and means to evaluate corrugated and box strength and cannot necessarily be used for an apples to apples comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826970312520146262.post-74674078578684638362016-09-19T03:36:51.943-05:002016-09-19T03:36:51.943-05:00 I want to know different between BCT result and b...
