The Cobham Test-A-Pack Model F100-2600-3
Seal Strength Tester is the heart of the world's
most advanced package testing system.
It automatically regulates air pressure to
determine the seal strength of a wide variety
of porous and non-porous packages used
in the medical, food and pharmaceutical
industries. The tester is ideal for performing
burst and creep tests in accordance with
ASTM F1140-2000 and is a valuable tool for
users seeking ISO 11607 compliance.
This tester is a highly accurate, multifunctional
pressure control and monitoring device.

The burst test function automatically inflates
the test sample until seal failure occurs. The
creep test feature checks package seals under
sustained pressure. The creep-to-burst feature
sequentially checks minimum required seal
strength and maximum pressure at burst.
The operator sets test variables using easy
to follow menu screens, and then initiates
the test sequence by simply pressing the
start button. Test results are displayed on the
screen and are held in memory.
The tester includes a parallel printer port and
a serial output port for easy interface with a PC.
