Use with the TME BT-1000 Automated Package Tester for:

Leak Testing: Restraining stabilizes expansion during pressurization. Semi-porous surfaces are available to test without blocking any holes in the surface material.

Seal Strength Testing: Restraining plate fixtures provide consistent stress loading on all seals of open ended or closed packages

• Restraining plates limit the tested internal volume of the package, can increase the sensitivity of the test.
  
• Restraint equalizes the stress on package seals being tested, and controls stretching expansion when pressurized
  
• Restraining plates can be used with the TME TS-01/04 Open Package Fixtures to test open ended packages
  
• Closed packages can be restrained and tested with the TME Package-Port package entry system
  
• Restraining gap adjusts from 1/4 to one inch to accommodate most package sizes. Other gap sizes are available on a custom basis.
  
• Restraining Plate Fixtures from TME conform to ASTM testing standards
• Standard size is 12" x 16" with custom sizes available.
