How running torque is measured
Running torque is typically measured using precision torque sensors mounted within a controlled test stand. The component under test is rotated at a defined speed, and torque is measured continuously during motion.

What is the edge crush test and why is it important?
ECT assesses the capacity of corrugated board to withstand compressive forces along its edge. A higher ECT value generally means the board has greater stacking strength.
