We found that there is a relationship between the decreased ECT and THK2 value. A reference line, which capture the relationship between the decrease of these normalized parameters and crushing of the corrugated cardboard was established. The equation describing the reference line has a following form: y = 1 − 0.53 x (5) where: y —the normalized parameter value and x —the crushing value. In Figure 15, the normalized ECT and THK2 values for the analysed corrugated cardboards fitting to the reference lines represented by the Equation (5) are presented.

For the reference line and normalized ECT and THK2 values, the coefficients of determination R 2 were computed (Table 5), according to Equation (1) for the two sets of data simultaneously, where: x i —reference line value calculated from the Equation (5), ˆ y i —normalized ECT and THK2 values and var ( x ) —variance of the reference line value.
