How It Works: Dual Testing Methodology
Vacuum Integrity Testing Leak Test Apparatus for Packaging Quality Control
The Leak Test Apparatus employs vacuum technology to simulate extreme conditions that packaging may encounter during transportation, storage, and handling:- Sample Placement - Test samples are placed inside the polycarbonate desiccator housing
- Vacuum Generation - The compact vacuum pump creates a controlled vacuum environment (up to 22" of Hg)
- Timed Hold Period - The vacuum is maintained for a programmable period (15-9999 seconds)
- Visual Inspection - Properly sealed packages maintain their shape, while compromised seals show inflation or deformation
Dye Penetration Testing Leak Test Apparatus for Packaging Quality Control
For enhanced detection capabilities, the apparatus can be used with colored dye solution (typically Methylene Blue):- Solution Preparation - Samples are immersed in a colored dye solution within the desiccator
- Vacuum Application - Vacuum force is applied, creating pressure differentials across package seals
- Controlled Release - When vacuum is released, the pressure change forces dye through any existing leaks
- Visual Confirmation - Compromised packages show dye penetration, staining the internal contents
