Testeur de rupture d'ampoule BST-01

Introduction to the Ampoule Break Force Tester

The ampoule break force tester is a crucial tool in the pharmaceutical and medical packaging industries, designed to measure the force required to break the neck of an ampoule. Ampoules are hermetically sealed containers used for storing sensitive pharmaceutical substances. The breaking strength of the neck plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and integrity of the product inside. A precise and reliable tester is essential to ensure ampoules meet the necessary standards for safe use and handling.

Understanding ISO 9187: Standard for Ampoule Break Force Testing

ISO 9187 is the international standard that specifies the method for testing the breaking force of ampoules. It provides detailed guidelines on how the testing process should be conducted, the necessary equipment, and the parameters to be measured to ensure consistent and accurate results. By following ISO 9187, manufacturers can be confident that their ampoules will meet safety requirements, reducing the risk of breakage during storage and handling.

Test Method According to ISO 9187

The test involves placing an ampoule on a fixture and applying a downward force to the neck using the testing machine. The BST-01 Ampoule Break Force Tester uses a high-precision load cell to measure the force required to break the neck of the ampoule. The test ensures the ampoules are not only safe to handle but also meet the required standards for pharmaceutical applications.

Test Process of the Ampoule Break Force Tester

• Step 1: Place the ampoule on the dedicated fixture designed for different ampoule sizes (1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml).
• Step 2: Start the test, where the pressing head moves down at a consistent rate of 10 mm/min (adjustable from 1–500 mm/min).
• Step 3: The high-precision load cell detects the force required to break the ampoule neck.
• Step 4: The breaking force is recorded, and results are displayed on the HMI touch screen or printed via the integrated microprinter.

This process ensures the breaking force of ampoules is accurately measured according to industry standards.
