This Standard specifies a method for measuring the bursting strength of paper sub-
mitted to increasing hydraulic pressure. It is applicable to paper having bursting
strengths within the range 70 kPa to 1 400 kPa. It is not intended to be used for the
components (such as fluting medium or linerboard) of a combined board, for which the
method given in JIS P 8131 is more suitable.
In the absence of any commercial agreement as to which method should be used
for testing the material, materials with bursting strengths below 600 kPa should be
tested according to this Standard.
NOTE 1 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard is as follows.
ISO 2758:2001 Paper--Determination of bursting strength (MOD)
In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the
contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT
(identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/
IEC Guide 21.
