PNL-1099  | | The Panel Implosion Tester (Panel Tester) can be used to measure the implosion force (panel strength) of two piece and three piece cans.
|
| 
To do this the empty seamed can is placed in a pressure chamber and pressure is applied externally. The increase in pressure can be regulated with a choke. The maximum pressure which causes the can panel to fail and crushes the can may be read in the display; this can be cleared, stored, printed to a serial printer, or transmitted to a computer.
The pressure chamber is a glass cylinder which has been tested with a pressure level of 10 bar. A safety valve secures the Panel Implosion Tester (Panel Tester) at a pressure level of 3 bar. Additionally, the electronic opens the main valve at 4 bar and interrupts the test. The pressure chamber can not be opened under pressure.
Quick-Fill™ is a unique time saving feature designed to decrease test time while maintaining the accuracy of the test. Testers with Quick-Fill™ can rapidly increase the test pressure from atmosphere to a preset amount. Once at the starting pressure the tester automatically reduces the fill rate to maximum accuracy.
