NPD-20A Pharmaceutical Foil Burst Strength Tester
01 / Application

Workflow and key features

The specimen is clamped over an elastic diaphragm and hydraulic pressure is applied at a controlled rate until rupture. The peak pressure is recorded as burst strength. The published NPD-20A reference is the low-pressure foil configuration; paperboard testing requires a separately selected high-pressure configuration.

  • Seven-inch color touchscreen with microcomputer control
  • Automatic clamping, pressurization, rupture detection and result capture
  • Digital signal processing for pressure measurement
  • Micro printer for immediate result reports
  • Low-pressure diaphragm and clamping system selected for pharmaceutical foil
  • High-pressure paperboard configurations are reviewed separately
