Vacuum leak tester: Best testing equipment to check the seal integrity of packages

The vacuum leak tester is one of the important quality testing instruments that will let you test the seal integrity of packaging material and help you in detecting any sort of leaks for a variety of products. This accurate lab testing equipment provides you with superior quality testing of products to their customers and removes all the imperfections present in it. This lab testing equipment will be combined with several testing standards like ASTM D 4991-07(2015), ASTM F 2338-09(2013).

This amazing lab testing instrument will help you in improving your PET bottle quality by detecting any sort of leaks. During the testing procedures, the test sample is placed in its place and then a specified amount of vacuum is created in the sample. After the vacuum is created in the sample, it becomes easy to test any leakage in the test sample with great accuracy. When the test specimen is placed under vacuum, if there is a leakage in the seal of the specimen, it will deform or shrink indicating the presence of leakage in the specimen. The test is performed in order to ensure that the packaging offered to the clients is free from any leakage and is completely intact.
