Pouch Dip Leak Tester
A pouch dip leak tester is a specialized instrument designed to assess the seal integrity (leakage) of air-filled, non-porous pouches when they are exposed to external compressive forces while submerged in water.
The pouch is dipped in a stainless steel tank filled with water and held for a certain period of time before being released.
If the pouch has even minute leakages, they will be seen as a stream of air bubbles escaping the package.
This test is faster and better than the Vacuum Leak Test method.
Pouch Dip Leak Tester
Technical Specifications :
- Analog Model with Dial Type Pressure Gauge
- Runs on Compressed Air.
- No Electricity Required.
Pre-Test Procedure :
- Decide on Test Force.
- Suppose you want to test 3 pouches together and you want a force of 10 kgs to be applied to each pouch, the combined force = 3 x 10 = 30 kgs.
- Divide this force by 20 to give you the desired test pressure. eg. 30/20 = 1.5 kg/cm2 (~1.5 bar)
- Set Test Pressure on Pressure Regulator (small dial gauge shows approx pressure).
- Push the Test Lever down to bring the pressing plate down.
- Verify that the bigger Dial Gauge on the Cylinder goes upto the set pressure of the Pressure Regulator.
- If not, adjust Regulator to the desired real pressure.
- Note : the small dial gauge on regulator is not calibrated and is used for coarse setting.
- The larger Dial Gauge on the cylinder is calibrated and is the actual pressure inside the cylinder.
- Push the Test Lever up to bring the pressing plate up.
- Fill the tank with water upto the desired level. Do not fill upto the top because the level will rise when the pouches are pressed under water.
Test Procedure :
- Place your sample pouches inside the tank under the pressing platen.
- Push the Test Lever down to bring the pressing plate down.
- Observe the pouches and if you find a constant stream of air bubbles, identify the pouch and the leak source.
- After the desired holding period (usually 15 seconds), push the Test Lever up to bring the pressing plate up.
- Remove the samples.
