ASTM F2096

I. Introduction to the Gross Leak Bubble Tester In quality assurance of sterile and sealed packaging, detecting large breaches that compromise product integrity is crucial. The gross leak bubble tester is a highly effective, visual inspection method for identifying such defects. Commonly used in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and medical device packaging, this method helps verify seal strength and barrier integrity before products reach the end user. The test follows a simple principle: by immersing the package in water and applying internal air pressure, visible bubbles will form if a leak exists. This intuitive approach, standardized by ASTM F2096, makes gross leak detection both accessible and highly accurate. II. How […]
