Testing Equipment

Determination of bursting volume and pressure


Accurate Inflation System© AIS.
For determination of bursting volume and pressure of condoms. For less operator-dependent testing with automatic correction for environmental conditions.

Specification:
Flow Accuracy:Better than ± 1,0 %
Volume Accuracy:Better than ± 1,0 %
Temperature Effect:Less than 1,0 % over 0 - 40°C
Pressure Accuracy:Better than ± 1,0 %
Pressure Overload:160 kPa

The Accurate Inflation System (AIS) can consist of a single chamber or up to 8 chambers in one system handled by one operator. The number of chambers is depending on the capacity needed. Automatic calibration programmes give rapid and easy calibration procedures. Operators without any particular skills or training in calibration can make these checks.

Dual Inflation System® DIS.
Dual inflation enables both short length inflation and full-length inflation in one operation, without increasing the time or the cost of the testing. The benefits are obvious: more reliable testing of condoms with special attention paid to the closed end, the part most likely to contain serious defects and also the part that is most exposed to stress and strain during intercourse.

Testing for holes

Water Leakage Tester - WLT
Semi-automatic testing of condoms as well as gloves, with the same equipment.

Specifications:
Number of grips:10
Filling volume:0 - 2000 ml (adjustable)
Speed of rotation: adjustable
Compressed air connection:4 bar min
Dimensions: 730mm x 650mm x 1250-1500mm with adjustable stand

The equipment consists of pneumatically operated, revolving plate with grips for 10 condoms alternatively gloves. When the machine starts the operation will be automatic. The plate will rotate to the next position and the test specimen in tap position fills with specified amount of water. Equipped with a counter to keep track of the samples tested.



Electric Hole Tester - EHT

The Electric Hole Tester is designed for testing of holes on condoms according to the European condom standard EN 600:1996 and to the international condom standard ISO 4074:2002 Annex K.3. The compact, PC controlled tester consists of four individually operated test probes for condoms. It is both timesaving and requires a minimum of space.

Valendor's Electric Hole Tester is more than 100% faster than conventional electrical hole testers. For instance, testing a sample series of 315 pcs takes only 20 to 26 minutes with Valendor's tester, while the conventional machines requires more than one hour.

STANDARD AND FORCED EXTENSION TEST
By filling the condom with more than 200 ml (preferably 400ml) of electrolyte, a controlled forced extension of the submerged condom is achieved. This enables the latex to stretch and holes, not detectable in the "Standard Test", will be detected using this method. Forced Extension Application is standard in Valendor's testers.
