Leak & Flow Testing Technical Seminar - Maple Grove, MN

It's always better to catch a production error before your product ends up in your customer's hands. This is especially true in critical applications like medical devices, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, automotive, optics, etc.

The simple fact is that everything leaks over time. Your leak rate will depend entirely upon your application. For example, a foil sealed vial could leak a few molecules of air without ever losing any of the liquid that you're trying to retain.

As soon as possible. If you incorporate leak (and flow) testing criteria into your design process, it will be easier for your production team to perform their tests. Simple changes, such as moving ejector pins and flash lines away from a sealing surface, will make your life easier in the future.
