Applications of Airborne Ultrasound Technology Across Different Industries
Airborne Ultrasound technology is a deterministic seal quality inspection method for non-destructive testing of flexible package seals. It is an FDA Recognized Standard for seal quality integrity testing. Seal defects of various types, visible and invisible, leaking and non-leaking, process-related and random, can be detected. Testing using Airborne Ultrasound technology is an economical and cost-effective approach for evaluating the seal integrity of the final pouch. Airborne Ultrasound technology has been proven in the field s with both online (Seal-Sensor) and offline laboratory (Seal-Scan) solution options. As per ASTM F3004-13, this is the standard test method for the evaluation of seal quality and integrity. Overview of Airborne Ultrasound Technology When a package seal passes over the sensor head, ultrasonic waves propagate through the material, causing sound waves to reflect. When defects are found, the signal strength is reduced/eliminated, allowing the defect to be
