Test Principle

Firstly submerge the specimen in the water in the vacuum chamber, and then evacuate the vacuum chamber to form differential pressure between the inside and outside of specimen. The seal property can be obtained by observing the steady progression of bubbles from the specimen or observing how the specimen expands and restores to its original shape after vacuum release.

Note 2: The parameters in the table are measured by professional operators in Labthink laboratory under strictly controlled laboratory conditions.
Note 3: DataShieldTM provides safe and reliable data application support. Multiple Labthink instruments can share one single DataShieldTM system which can be configured as required.

Compliance and Precision Built for Laboratories

This instrument combines strict adherence to international standards-ASTM F88/F88M and ISO 11607-1-with high-precision measuring capabilities. Its digital auto-calibration ensures accurate seal strength assessment every time, while the LCD display provides real-time data for reliable quality assurance.


Versatile Testing for Flexible Packaging and Tubes

Purpose-built for testing seams and closures, the device allows assessment of up to five samples simultaneously, supporting specimen lengths up to 200 mm. Its adjustable test speed, range, and stroke, make it suitable for various packaging formats typical in pharmaceuticals and flexible packaging industries.


User-Friendly, Secure, and Efficient

The digital touch panel, operator password login, and memory for up to 200 results provide a secure and efficient workflow. Data can be printed, stored, or transferred via USB or RS232, accommodating different laboratory data management needs and ensuring seamless integration into quality control processes.
