Description

Leak Burst Tester                              LBT-15 Series

Leak Burst Tester is used to test Pouches / Cups / Tubes / Blister Packs / Trays for :

  1. Leakage Test
  2. Burst Test

Test Modes :

  1. Leak Test  : Your package is tested only for leakages.
  2. Burst Test : Your package is tested only for burst pressure.
  3. Leak & Burst Test : Your package is tested both for leakages, and burst pressure.

Principle of Operation :

Leak Test : Air is injected into the package, internally pressurized up to a set pressure and held for a set time. The equipment will automatically detect leakages by monitoring the pressure drop.

If the package is tested under water, you will also see air bubbles from leak points. Even micro leakages, which the equipment cannot detect via pressure drop, can be visible under water, making it a very reliable test.

Burst Test : Air is injected into the package, internally pressurized until the sample bursts open. The max burst pressure is displayed. This test is considered as a 360° Seal Strength / Seal Integrity Test.  You can identify the weakest point of your package as it will fail first.

Leak Burst Test : A combination of the above 2 tests. First the Leak Test will happen. If the package FAILS in Leak Test, the test is abandoned. If the package passes the Leak Test, it is automatically subjected to the Burst Test. You can do 2 test on the same package, while saving time on sample preparation. And of course, you waste less samples.
