GB/T 2679.10-1993 "Paper and board—Determination of short-span compression strength" is equivalent to relevant international standards. It specifies the method for determining the longitudinal and transverse compression strength of paper and board using a short-span compression tester. This standard applies to paper and board used for manufacturing paper boxes and cartons, as well as laboratory-prepared paper sheets, but is not suitable for strain measurement. During testing, a 15mm wide sample is clamped between fixtures with a spacing of 0.7mm and compressed until failure. The maximum compression force is recorded, and the compression strength and compression index are calculated. The standard clarifies requirements for sample collection, preparation, testing procedures, and instrument calibration, providing unified specifications for the detection of compression properties of paper and board.
