Test Methods

Principle of Packaging Burst Testing

The Balloon Burst Testing method involves inflating a package until it bursts, measuring the pressure and volume at which the burst occurs. This test is crucial for evaluating the burst strength of packaging materials, ensuring they can withstand internal pressure during handling and storage.

Standard Test Procedures

1. Sample Preparation and Conditioning: Samples are prepared according to specified standards and conditioned to the appropriate environment before testing.
2. Test Setup and Parameters Configuration: The balloon burst tester is set up with the appropriate fixtures, and test parameters are configured based on the sample type and testing requirements.
3. Execution of the Test and Measurement Recording: The package is inflated until it bursts, with the tester recording the burst pressure and volume.
4. Interpreting Results: Burst pressure and volume are analyzed to assess the material’s strength and performance, facilitating quality control and material comparison.
