Norma ASTM F2096

Test Materials: ASTM F2096 specifies that the materials for the bubble test should include the packaged product and the appropriate pressurizing equipment. The package must be sealed and fully prepared for testing, with the contents typically being a gas-tight container that can withstand internal pressure.
Test Process: In the ASTM F2096 method, the package is pressurized internally, typically with air or another suitable gas. The package is then submerged in water. If gross leaks are present, bubbles will emerge from the defect, signaling the location of the leak.
Test Result Interpretation: Results are interpreted based on the presence of bubbles. If any bubbles are observed, the package is deemed to have a gross leak. No bubbles indicate that the package is intact and free from gross leaks.
