PET bottles are the most reliable and best means of packaging. Many industries are switching from sachet packaging or tin box packing to PET bottles. These bottles, nowadays, are used on a very wide scale in multiple industries such as food & beverages, chemical industries, pharmaceuticals, and so on. With the wide usage, it has become mandatory for the PET bottle manufacturers to produce only premium quality products that can fulfill the requirement of the respective applications.

The quality of the PET bottles is important to assess for the safety of the products that are packed inside. If the bottles are not strong enough then they might fail during the process of storage, warehousing or transportation that can cause damage to other products as well.

Bursting Strength - Major property of PET Bottles

One of the major properties of the PET bottles is its bursting strength. The bursting property of the bottles can be evaluated by exerting a predefined amount of pressure on the bottle when it is filled.

Let’s understand the case in detail.

when the bottle is filled with any beverage, chemical, liquid soap or medicinal syrup, then a huge amount of pressure is exerted on them from inside. This pressure can lead the bottles to burst which can eventually affect the safety & quality of the product which is packed inside.

To ensure that the bottle can withstand the pressure that is provided inside and it will not burst even in the extreme filling conditions, it is necessary to examine the quality of the filled bottle before delivering it to the end customers. This will help to safeguard the quality of the product which is packed inside.

PET bottles are not only used to pack liquid products, but solid products such as powders, cereals, snacks can easily be transported from one place to another when they are packed in PET bottles. That is why it has become important for the manufacturers to measure the efficiency of the PET bottle packaging. This can be tested keeping in mind the several standards that are defined by authorized organizations such as ASTM, ISO, etc.

In beverages and chemical industries, PET bottles are filled with a huge amount of pressure to keep the freshness or the product intact. But this pressure sometimes may lead to bursting of the bottle, especially when they are subjected to pressurized filling.

The best way to test the Bursting Strength of the PET bottles is the premium testing instrument i.e. PET Bottle Burst Tester.

How does PET Bottle Pressure Tester Works?

The testing instrument gives accurate information about the strength of the bottles. The testing instrument uses highly pressurized air to examine the bursting strength of the PET bottle. The air pressure is generated to create the actual working condition i.e. when the bottles are pressurized at the time of filling. This pressure generated by the testing machine helps to examine how much pressure a bottle can tolerate at the time of pressurized filling without getting damaged. If the bottle does not withstand the amount of pressure during the testing, manufacturers can easily make the required changes to enhance the strength of the PET bottles.
