Abstract
A leak detection system includes a testing interface, which includes a rotation holder configured to retain and rotate a package. The testing interface includes a plunger apparatus configured to actuate a plunger to apply a pressure to the package before and/or during the package being inspected using a high voltage leak detection (HVLD) apparatus. The testing interface also includes a controller configured to operate and coordinate the operation of the testing interface with operation of the HVLD apparatus.
Claims24
A system for use with a package that contains fluid at a fluid pressure and has a stopper sealing the package, the system comprising:
- a plunger apparatus configured to apply a pressure to the stopper to increase the fluid pressure to a predetermined increased pressure level;
- and
- a high voltage leak detection (HVLD) apparatus configured to perform a HVLD inspection of the package with the fluid at the predetermined increased pressure level.
A system for use with a package that contains fluid at a fluid pressure and has a stopper sealing the package, the system comprising:
- a plunger apparatus configured to apply a pressure to the stopper at a level predetermined to compress the stopper;
- and
- a high voltage leak detection (HVLD) apparatus configured to perform a HVLD inspection of the stopper when the stopper is compressed under the applied pressure.
A method for performing high voltage leak detection (HVLD) inspection of a package that contains fluid at a fluid pressure and has a stopper sealing the package, the method comprising:
- applying a pressure to the stopper to increase the fluid pressure to a predetermined increased pressure level;
- and
- performing the HVLD inspection of the package with the fluid at the predetermined increased level.
A method for performing high voltage leak detection (HVLD) inspection of a package that contains fluid at a fluid pressure and has a stopper sealing the package, the method comprising:
- applying a pressure to the stopper at a level predetermined to compress the stopper;
- and
- performing the HVLD inspection of the stopper when the stopper is compressed under the applied pressure.
