Leak Test App – Model P Controller
Leak Test App - Model P Controller, for Standardized Package Testing Why Manual Leak Testing Creates Risk In many quality control processes, leak tests are still performed manually. This can make testing poorly repeatable, difficult to document and dependent on how each operator performs the procedure. The Leak Test application on the P Module was designed to standardize and automate leak testing, adapting to different products and processes through controlled recipes, automated cycles and complete test documentation. [...]

Model M – Simplified Leak Testing Equipment | DVACI
Leak Test Simplified: Standardized Vacuum Testing with Model M How perform leak tests in seconds without relying on a complex system? Many companies perform leak integrity tests on packages or containers…But often using systems that generate variable results, depend heavily on the operator, or introduce unnecessary complexity. In this article, we’ll explain a much more practical way to perform leak testing according to ASTM D3078. And how to determine when a simplified vacuum system is the right solution for your process. [...]
ASTM D3078: Vacuum Level and Test Time Explained
How to Define Pressure and Time Parameters - ASTM D3078 Bubble Leak Test How much vacuum can you apply to detect real leaks without deforming the package? In this post, we explain how to define the correct pressure test and time parameters based on ASTM D3078, the standard method used to detect gross leaks in flexible packaging. We will also share a tip that the standard does not mention but can significantly improve the reliability of your results. Stay until the end to learn what it [...]
ASTM F2096 Bubble Leak Test – How to Define Pressure and Time
How to Define Pressure and Time Parameters - ASTM F2096 Bubble Leak Test How do we define the correct test pressure and the appropriate time to reveal real leaks? In the pharmaceutical industry, we all share one responsibility: ensuring that every sterile package maintains its integrity until final use. A leak is not just a defect—it is a regulatory nonconformance, a risk to the patient, and a problem no one wants to face. ASTM F2096 is the most widely used method to answer that question, [...]

ASTM F2096: Control Sample with Calibrated Pin or Tungsten Filament
How to Create a Control Sample for Package Integrity Testing | ASTM F2096. Control Sample: the step many laboratories overlook… but the one that changes everything. Have you ever wondered whether a bubble in your leak integrity test is a real leak or simply test noise? The most reliable way to answer these questions is with something called a Control Sample: a package with a perfectly known leak, used to calibrate your test, confirm that your parameters are correct, and avoid misinterpreting false positives. [...]
