Testing

Restraining pouches and other flexible products is an ideal way to allow pressure decay leak testing. The drainage pouch or administration bag is placed between two restraining plates. The plates are porous, so as not to mask any leaks on the surfaces. The leak test machine then internally pressurises the product through a suitable connector and the pressure decay method gives a very accurate measure of any leakage in the product. This type of system is typically calibrated with a specifically manufactured reference leak and validated using perforations of known size.
