Package Testing Q&A
-
Asked August 6th, 2009
I would recommend utilizing a Haug vacuum leak tester. Visit www.haugquality.com.
Depending upon the packaging itself, I would propose ASTM D3078 “Standard Test Method for Determination of Leaks in Flexible Packaging by Bubble Emission” or ASTM D4991 “Standard Test Method for Leakage Testing of Empty Rigid Containers by Vacuum Method.”
The utilization of D3078 is for more flexible nonporous packages, while ASTM D4991 is used for rigid nonporous packaging.
