Consumable Testing
FROMM Consumable Testing verifies technical specifications against manufacturer's claims, reducing the risk of poor load containment. We can test both strapping and wrapping materials.
Strap Testing:
- Seal joint efficiency
- Split testing
- Elongation
- Breaking Strain
- Testing to manufacturers specification
Stretch Wrapping Films Testing:
- Stretch ratio and elongation
- Puncture testing
- Testing to manufacturers specification
Specifications
With the global market, suppliers often quote “foreign” standards such as an EU or US specification. For the testing of strapping material, we follow ISO 1421. Additionally, we will compare strapping materials against our library of “similar” products to confirm specifications that could be considered “industry norms”.
For stretch film and pallet containment we follow ASTM D4649 standards for containment force, in conjunction with puncture resistance. The standards can also include various individual country standards and the important EU Guidelines for safe transit.
