Packaging plays a very important role in conserving your products and ensuring they are sterile and uncontaminated. These packages can cause a leak due to material defects, contamination of seals, or manufacturing defects. The following types of leak tests can be performed.
Bubble emission test: The package is immersed in water and subjected to air pressure. The presence of bubble emission indicates a leak.
Pressure Decay test: Package is subjected to air pressure and monitored for any pressure drop with reference to a master part. Any pressure difference with reference to a master/reference package indicates leakage.
Tracer gas testing: The package is filled with helium/hydrogen gas and sealed. A sniffer probe is run across the package and monitored for any leaks over the package surface.
