Bubble Emission System used in Production Quality Testing of Blister Packs

Blister Packs are a type of Preformed Plastic packaging mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry. For packaging pills or medication. We have also seen blister packs used in the medical device industry (for packing surgical tools or bio-implants) and electronics industry (packaging of microchips).

If you require to quality leak test your blister pack heat seals for proper seal, Bubble Leak Emission Tester is the simplest way to accomplish that. You are looking at our standard Bubble Emission Test System. This one is 12 inch Wide, 12 inch Deep, by 12 inch High. The vacuum pump is a venturi vacuum pump that uses compressed air to generate vacuum and evacuate the clear acrylic vacuum tank. The venturi pump can be actuated simply by toggling the air valve and letting the air flow into the venturi pump.

There are several advantages to using a venturi Vacuum Pump in a Bubble Leak Testing Application. One, there is no electricity required. Two, A venturi pump does not require oil or maintenance. Three, this system can be used on any table top with an air hook up. The cost is that a venturi vacuum pump is not as powerful and will not pull as much air out and go to as high of a vacuum – we are talking about 3.5 CFM at 26 inHg. This rating is enough for every bubble leak test out there.

Pressure Decay Leak Testing Systems
Pressure Decay Leak Testing Systems are instruments that detect and quantify a leak by measuring the pressure drop over specified amount of time. Any specimen that is inflated will stay inflated if it is leak tight. On the other hand, of a leak exists in the inflated specimen, air will escape through the orifice and decrease the pressure inside the specimen. The higher the pressure drop, the high the leak.
Ethernet Vacuum Feedthroughs
Ethernet Vacuum Feedthroughs are Vacuum Rated Ethernet connectors that enable you to run ethernet cables into your vacuum chamber. Simply connect your ethernet connector to the outside of the vacuum chamber and another ethernet cord from the inside and run it into your part present inside your vacuum chamber.
Our Work: High Altitude Vacuum Testing of Electrical Connectors and Components
This was an interesting project where one of our customers needed to test wires up to 44 inches long within a high altitude simulation environment. In addition to testing wires, several other electric connectors required altitude testing as well. The altitude requirements were 100,000 feet (30.510 km) which corresponds to 8.36 Torr - a piece of cake when it comes to the vacuum requirements of our chambers.

Bubble Leak Testing or Bubble Emission Testing is a procedure where leaks are visually detected and located through the emission of bubbles while the test specimen is submerged in water. In this article, we will talk about using an acrylic vacuum box as a leak detection device. We are also going to talk about the advantage, disadvantage, and the bubble leak emission test procedures.
