Description :
The PET Bottle Burst Strength Tester is specialised equipment for measuring the internal pressure resistance of PET bottles. It follows the three most commonly used international test methods, so users can select the one that suits their needs. It can test resilience under a set pressure or run a burst test to failure. By reproducing pressurisation, it faithfully simulates the back-pressure filling process and shows how the bottle withstands sudden pressure. Once a test program is selected, the cycle starts automatically, and the touch screen shows pressure in real time while recording the maximum and burst pressures. An optional water-recycling system saves water and avoids the unstable tap-water pressure that can affect results; an additional temperature-control unit allows tests in water at a controlled temperature, and an optional booster removes the need for a high-pressure source.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PABT burst tester?
The PABT tests PET bottle internal pressure resistance with an additional hot-water spraying system option for elevated-temperature burst simulation.
What pressure range and accuracy does the PABT offer?
The PABT measures 0 to 20 bar (30 on request) with ±0.5% full-scale accuracy and 0.01 bar resolution.
What data output does the PABT provide?
The PABT outputs via RS232C to a printer or the QPV software, storing 10 operators, 30 products, and up to 100 test results, with an integrated calibration function.
