Test Process

During testing, a sample is placed between two parallel heated sealing jaws, and the required temperature is allowed to reach equilibrium. The upper seal jaw, driven by a gas cylinder, exerts a specific pressure on the sample for a predetermined duration. Upon completion of the sealing time, the upper sealing jaw returns to its original position, concluding the heat sealability testing process.
