General FAQ’s
What method complies with vacuum decay, and what does it entail for the evaluation of packaging?
The method that complies with vacuum decay for the evaluation of packaging is ASTM F2338.
This standard utilizes the vacuum decay method to nondestructively do a leak test in packages.
Vacuum decay entails subjecting the package to a vacuum and monitoring pressure changes within the package to detect any leaks, basically doing a leak check.
This method allows for the evaluation of various types of packaging, including rigid and semi-rigid non-lidded trays, rigid nonporous packages, and flexible nonporous packages. By employing vacuum decay, ASTM F2338 ensures thorough evaluation of packaging integrity while maintaining the integrity of the package itself during testing.
How much Does leak detection save?
With non-destructive leak detection, you can achieve considerable savings. Leaking packages cause losses across the entire chain and could inflict significant damage to a brand’s image.
What is the most common leak detection method for food packaging?
The most common leak detection method is de vacuum decay test method, used to detect leaks in flexible and rigid packaging.
How do you solve leakage problems in food packaging?
You can use leak testers for process control, ensuring quality by identifying minor leaks in packaged food items. The leak tester results will help you solve leakage problems, which are usually the result of sealing issues.
