A container inspection head includes a housing defining an inspection zone, a container detection system, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The first sensor may be disposed opposite the second sensor across the inspection zone. A container inspection system includes the container inspection head and a control circuit. The control circuit determines that the container has entered the inspection zone, receives first sensor data from the first sensor and second container sensor data from the second sensor while the container traverses the inspection zone. The control circuit characterizes a feature of the container based on the first and second sensor data and determine a leakage measure of the container based on the characterized feature. A method of inspecting a container may further include rejecting the container when the container leakage measure is outside a predetermined leakage measure range.
