20150316441 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING QUALITY OF SEAL AND PACKAGE INTEGRITY - Embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for determining information relating to a leak in a package. In an embodiment, a solenoid/gravity system is used to rapidly pressurize a flexible package to a desired pressure and to rapidly withdraw the pressurizing agent, where another solenoid is used to rapidly and retractably impact a region on the package under test. Sensors are used to sense data corresponding to a wave in the package generated from the region of impact. The data is acquired and processed to determine information regarding a leak in the package, such as whether there is a leak in the package under test, the size of the leak, and/or the location of the leak. | 11-05-2015 |
