Burst Strength as Per MS 343-16

Burst Strength Testing as Per MS 343-16: Ensuring Pressure Resilience and Material Integrity

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, material performance is more than a benchmark—it's a necessity. When it comes to evaluating the strength and durability of materials under pressure, Burst Strength Testing stands as a critical quality control tool. At Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory, we specialize in conducting Burst Strength Testing in full compliance with MS 343-16, a Malaysian standard that outlines the method for determining the resistance of materials to pressure-induced rupture.

What is Burst Strength Testing?

Burst Strength Testing measures the ability of a material—commonly paper, textiles, plastics, rubber sheets, or packaging substrates—to withstand pressure before it ruptures. The test applies increasing hydraulic pressure through a rubber diaphragm until the material bursts. The pressure at rupture is recorded as the burst strength value.

This test is crucial for:

Packaging materials (e.g., cartons, paperboards)
Rubber and plastic components
Textile-based industrial products
Flexible films and laminates

Why MS 343-16 Matters

The MS 343-16 standard provides a consistent, repeatable framework for testing. Following this standard ensures that your results are:

Reliable and accurate
Comparable across batches and suppliers
Accepted for regulatory and compliance audits

Using this standard is particularly important for companies targeting export markets or industries with strict quality control protocols.
