Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester Ampul Bottle Break Tester

The Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure the breaking force required to snap off the neck of glass ampoules, ensuring pharmaceutical safety and optimal clinical application. Ampoules are small hermetically sealed glass containers used to store injectable medicines, which must be broken open to access the contents. The proper breaking strength is critical in maintaining sterility and ease of use in clinical settings. With its advanced features, this Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester provides a quantitative analysis of the breaking force, allowing laboratories and manufacturers to ensure that ampoules meet industry standards for safe and reliable performance.

Key Features of the Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester

• PLC Programmable Logic Controller: Ensures precise control over the driving system, enhancing overall instrument performance and accuracy.
• High Precision Ball Screw: Guarantees accurate speed and displacement during testing, crucial for achieving reliable and repeatable results.
• Adjustable Test Speed: Flexibility to adjust the test speed from 1 mm/min to 800 mm/min, with a specific 10 mm/min setting for ampoule breaking strength tests.
• Multiple Test Capabilities: The instrument supports both tensile and compression tests, making it versatile for various test applications.
• Interchangeable Fixtures: Provides compatibility with different types of pulling and compression tests, enabling broader use for other material testing.
• Limiting Device & Automatic Returning Function: These safety features ensure that the tester returns to its default position after each test, preventing over-pressurizing and damage to the ampoules.

Why the Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester is Essential for Laboratories

In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the integrity of ampoules is crucial for protecting product quality and safety. The Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester allows manufacturers and laboratories to assess whether ampoules can be opened with the correct amount of force, ensuring patient safety. If an ampoule breaks too easily, it could compromise sterility; if it requires too much force, it could present handling difficulties for healthcare professionals. By offering consistent, repeatable measurements, this tester helps ensure that every ampoule meets stringent industry standards.

Working Principle of the Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester

The Ampoule Breaking Strength Tester uses a mechanical system to apply force to the neck of the ampoule. The sample ampoule is securely placed on the instrument’s fixtures, and the pressing head moves down at a controlled speed of 10 mm/min (as per the ampoule breaking test standard). The tester’s high-precision load cell measures the force applied as the pressing head contacts the neck of the ampoule and breaks it. This measurement reflects the ampoule’s breaking strength, helping manufacturers assess whether the ampoules conform to industry requirements.
