2.3.4 Changing the Flute Size of the Corrugated Sheet
All the earlier modes are meant to minimize the energy impact on the environment,
while this mode suggests the change of size of a flute to minimize the requirement of
paper and meet the requirements of strength as well. The flute size used by industry
for corrugation is B-Flute. The double-layered box requires five layers of kraft paper.
If the flute size is increased from B-flute to A-flute, the paper required will be of
higher strength so that the flutes do not shrink. The analysis of two corrugated sheets
with A and B flutes is done based on the Bursting Strength (BS) of the corrugated
sheet based on IS 1060-1 standards as shown in Eq. 11.
BS = BF*GSM
(10)
where BF—Bursting Factor, BS—Bursting Strength (g/cm
2 ) and GSM—grams per
square metre (g/m
2 ).
