Mounting Pouches and Bags
Flexible packages require a different mounting method than rigid packages. Flexible packages can be
mounted with the carrier gas tubes entering the top or bottom of the package.
The following instructions, along with Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 will assist you in mounting the package.
1.
Make two cuts in the package just large enough for the ends of the tubing to slip through.
2.
Liberally apply epoxy to the tubing at the points where the tubing enters the package. Be careful not
to seal off the ends of the tubing. Five Minute Epoxy works well for this (see Figure 7-3).
3.
Move the package slightly so the ends of the tubing slide a short distance into the package. This will
allow the tubing to be sealed to the inside surface of the package instead of just the outside surface (see
Figure 7-4). This is especially important if you are testing package made of paper, which are coated with a
barrier on one side (usually the inside).
4.
Allow the adhesive to harden completely before continuing.
