Testimateriaalit

The NPT-01 Needle Puncture Tester evaluates puncture resistance of materials like rubber stoppers, infusion bag films, protective gloves, medical closures, and artificial skin. These materials must meet ISO 8871-5 requirements to ensure integrity and safety in medical and pharmaceutical use. The tester supports various needle types and sample holders tailored for these applications.

Testiprosessi

Following ISO 8871-5, the test mounts the chosen needle to a load cell while securing the sample on the base. The needle advances at a controlled speed until puncturing the material. The maximum force required for puncture is recorded via a precise sensor and displayed on a user-friendly screen. Test speeds and needle types can be adjusted to meet different testing demands.

Testitulosten tulkinta

The recorded puncture force reflects material resistance. A higher force indicates better puncture resistance, important for packaging integrity and user safety. Results are compared against ISO 8871-5 standards to confirm compliance. Consistent puncture forces ensure reliable product quality and safety in practical use.
