What Is a Vacuum Leak Tester?
A Vacuum Leak Tester identifies packaging leaks by simulating pressure conditions. The sealed product is submerged in water, and a vacuum is applied. If the seal is compromised, air escapes and forms bubbles, revealing the fault.
This method is:
Easy to use
Accurate and repeatable
Suitable for flexible and rigid packaging
Aligned with ASTM D3078 and ISO 11607-1
