FAQ's of Non-Destructive Leak Testing for Packaging Seal Integrity:
Q: How does the Non-Destructive Leak Tester detect seal integrity issues in packaging?
A: This tester uses advanced vacuum decay, pressure decay, and differential pressure methods to identify micro-leaks or seal failures in packaging. These non-invasive techniques detect pressure changes caused by leaks, enabling accurate quality control without damaging the tested sample.
Q: What types and sizes of packaging can be tested with this device?
A: The instrument is suitable for pouches, sachets, trays, bottles, blisters, and other flexible or semi-rigid packaging. It accommodates specimens up to 300 x 400 mm, with adjustable test width (50-300 mm) and a maximum test chamber height of 400 mm.
Q: When should regular calibration be performed, and what options are available?
A: Regular calibration is essential to maintain accuracy, especially before starting new production batches or periodically as per your QC standards. The device supports both automatic and manual calibration modes, allowing you to choose the most suitable approach for your operations.
Q: Where are the test records stored, and how can they be exported?
A: All test results are digitally recorded and can be exported via RS232 or USB interface. This ensures easy integration with your quality management systems and traceability for audits and compliance documentation.
Q: What is the process for operating the leak tester?
A: Place the specimen inside the stainless steel chamber, select the desired test mode and parameters using the touchscreen PLC or manual control, and initiate the test. The machine automatically measures for leaks, provides a digital readout, and triggers audible/visual alarms if defects are detected.
Q: What are the benefits of using this non-destructive seal integrity testing equipment?
A: The equipment offers high accuracy (1% F.S.), fast response time (1 second), and minimum detection limit of 50 microns. It preserves the integrity of samples, enhances efficiency with continuous testing, meets international compliance standards, and provides actionable data for quality assurance-all while minimizing product waste.
Q: How does the system ensure operator safety during testing?
A: The machine incorporates over-pressure protection, power surge protection, and operates within defined safe ranges for gas pressure (0.6 MPa), humidity, and temperature. Visual and audible alarms further assist in maintaining a safe testing environment.
