Description :
For PET bottles – simulation of the filling process.
The PBBT-2 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 method that best suits their needs. The PBBT-2 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, showing how the bottle withstands sudden pressure. Once a test program is selected, the cycle starts automatically according to the settings, 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.
Options:
· Recycling system
· Temperature control unit for water recycling system
· Additional booster
· Custom pliers
· Mini printer
· Calibration pack (including precision manometer for pressure calibration / graduated calibration bottle / spacer)
· “QualiBurst” software

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PBBT-2/2P burst tester?
The PBBT-2/2P tests the internal pressure resistance of PET bottles, simulating the counter-pressure filling process to evaluate burst strength and instantaneous pressure-shock performance, covering 0 to 20 bar.
Which international test methods does the PBBT-2/2P support?
It's designed to comply with three commonly used international test methods, letting users select the appropriate method based on requirements: resilience-under-pressure testing or full burst testing.
What sample capacity does the PBBT-2/2P handle?
It tests bottles up to 2.5 L as standard (larger on request), with volume expansion measurement up to 3 L and a neck clamping range of 25-38 mm diameter.
How does the PBBT-2/2P improve test repeatability?
It improves the process by automatically starting the pressurization cycle based on pre-set parameters; displaying real-time pressure and recording both maximum pressure and burst pressure on the touchscreen; and monitoring and logging water temperature during the test, storing up to 100 test results.
