Mechanical Testing
For packaging, mechanical testing subjects the package design to the stresses that may be experienced during handling, transportation, storage and use. Typical mechanical tests for packaging include:
DDL uses mechanical testing methods such as:
- Shock Testing
- Vibration Testing
- Compression Testing
- Seal Testing
- Burst Strength Testing
- Bubble Leak Testing
- Vacuum Leak Testing
For product and materials, mechanical testing reveals the behaviors when a force is applied to the test specimen. Mechanical testing shows whether the material or part is adequately designed for its intended mechanical application. The products that are protected by packaging and the materials that make up the packaging can undergo a wide spectrum of testing:
- Tensile Testing
- Compression Testing
- Shock Testing
- Vibration Testing
- Torque Testing
- Fatigue Testing
- Flexural Testing
- Impact Testing
- Puncture Testing
- Tear Testing
- Bend Testing
- Shear Testing
