The CLT makes use of pressure difference as a leak testing method. You can use the CLT for different types of cans. For example, it can be used for metal cans or composite carton cans with or without paper labels. Its patented, FDA-approved flexible membrane is pre-formed to match the exact shape of your packaging embracing the pack and protecting its contents.

Thanks to its pre-formed membrane, it is possible to create a very small measuring space around the packaging and a deep vacuum in the test chamber while protecting the seals and packaging. Without any change in its settings, the CLT can detect micro-leaks as well as larger leaks or open packs. The Can Leak Tester is able to test different package sizes and filling weights (with different changeable clock heads), allowing quick and efficient testing and objective results.

Test Methodology

Following ASTM F2622

Standard Test Method for Oxygen Gas Transmission Rate Through Plastic Film and

Sheeting Using Various Sensors

The oxygen gas transmission rate is determined after the sample has equilibrated in a controlled test environment. Control of carrier gas flow rate (for concentration detectors), relative humidity, temperature, and oxygen concentration in both the carrier gas and permeant (test) gas chambers is critical.

The specimen is mounted as a sealed semi-barrier between two chambers at ambient atmospheric pressure. A stream of nitrogen slowly purges one chamber and the other chamber contains oxygen. As oxygen gas permeates through the film into the nitrogen carrier gas, it is transported to the detector where it produces a signal representing the oxygen transmission rate.
