Compressive Burst TestersThe integrity of a fluid or gas-filled container can be tested in terms of its propensity to burst. This may involve material failure (e.g. splitting), closure failure, or seal/seam failure.
Seals and seams can be tested under peel, where a transverse sample is cut from a container, and pulled apart, but the result of internal pressure is failure as a result of cleavage peel, rather than as represented by a standard T-peel test. There is a variety of test methods involving inflationary burst, including sensitive gaseous leak detection, but a realistic option involves simply compressing a filled container using a standard radius cylindrical compression fixture or flat plate Mecmesin can design and manufacture custom fixtures and containment.
Our top-of-the-range MultiTest-i compression testers provide optimum testing performance and evaluation options, enabling you to get the most from your test measurements.
Operated via an easy-to-use touch screen, our MultiTest-xt test stands enable fast and efficient routine testing on the production floor with one complete solution.
Our entry-level MultiTest-dV test stands are a cost-effective solution for straightforward tension and compression tests.
For simple test applications a Mecmesin manual test stand, such as an MDD used with either a BFG or CFG digital force gauge offers an affordable solution.
