Container leak tester T3P

for packagingfor seal integrityabsolute pressure decay

Description
T3P is a test instrument for leak detection using the absolute pressure decay method. The unit features a colour touchscreen interface with real-time test visualization for straightforward programming and operation. High measurement resolution and precise control of filling pressure enable leak testing, destructive burst tests, safety valve opening checks, volumetric control, obstruction checks and "in bell" sealed-product tests or interception-method tests. Connectivity for external automation, barcode readers, printers and data logging via USB or Ethernet makes the T3P suitable for modern production lines.
