Description
Vacuum Leakage Tester VDX/DLX Series
The Vacuum Leakage Tester is used to check a package for leakage / capillary defects / pin holes.
- Solid Filled / Air Filled packages are tested while submerged in water. (Wet Test)
- Liquid Product Filled packages are tested in dry condition. (Dry Test)
Can be used to test any non-porous package such as Pouches, Blister Packs, Cans, Bottles, etc.
This test can also help understand the performance of a package when transported through non-pressurized air cargo or when it is used at high altitudes (low atmospheric pressures).
The Vacuum method of leakage testing is not entirely suitable for packages with very low headspace Volumes or for products with high viscosity.
Confirms to : ASTM D4991 / D3078
