2600 Test-A Pack System

When you‟re ready to begin the test, press START. Testing will begin automatically.
Saving Test Results
If you are using a PC with Test-A-Pack data collection software, the test results will be
stored automatically in a user named file on the PC hard drive.
When the package bursts, the Burst Test Complete screen will appear giving test number,
and the highest internal pressure measured in the package prior to burst.
This information will be available as hardcopy if a printer is being used. If a printer or a
computer is unavailable, remember to record the information, since this data will be used
for package quality analysis.
If the package burst pressure exceeds the pressure capability of the 2600, or the porosity
of the package is too great, the test will terminate, and the Package Out of Range message
will appear. This screen displays the test number and the pressure reached when the test
ended.
Creep Test
Before you begin Creep testing, you‟ll need to determine test parameters for the type of
package to be tested. Use the five membrane switches on the front panel to enter the
parameters into the console memory. The factory Presets are: FLOW = 5, SENSIT = 1,
PREFILL = Y, PKG COUNT = #001, UNITS = IN H2O, PRESSURE = 25. TIME = 10
(Figure 10).
