Seal Integrity Testing Devices

For testing the seal integrity of flexible packaging.

These products are used to test the seal integrity of a flexible package. The creep test function checks the package seal under sustained pressure. The creep-to-burst test function sequentially checks minimum required seal strength and maximum pressure at burst. Tests can also simulate high altitude conditions.

Applications
Flexible package testing for Sterilized Medical Devices, Food and Pharmaceuticals.

Specifications
Model 2600 Seal Integrity Tester

Checks the seal integrity on a wide range of porous and non-porous flexible packages using a pressurized air burst test. Open and closed package test fixtures are available in a variety of standard and custom configurations. Pressurized burst test uses ASTM 1140 method.

Model 2700 Integrity Tester
Detects leaks in non-porous packages with a vacuum test chamber. Leak location can be identified by submerging the sample in water.
