Project duration: 2001
The tightness of sealings of packages is an essential demand to ensure their function. Requirements to the sealing are determined by properties of the filling goods, packaging material and the and relevant processing conditions. Do to leaky sealings of packages significant losses of filling goods, packaging material and efficiency occur. To avoid such losses knowledge about the tightness of packages, typical demands and classified testing methods necessary.
Aim of the research project is to develop a test method to characterise the tightness of sealings of packages. Furthermore a classification with relevant sizes of capillaries in sealings will be defined
