Leak Detection
Packages should be absolutely leak tight. However, even with the utmost care in the process, faulty packaged products cannot be completely avoided. Defects in the sealing process or in the material can easily lead to leaks, sometimes microscopically small. Over many years, therefore, package leak detection or seal integrity testing of packaging has established itself as an integral part of quality assurance - both for food packaging and for other sensitive packaged products, for example in the pharmaceutical or chemical industry.
