Tube burst Tester

What is a Tube Burst Tester?

A Tube Burst Tester is a precision testing instrument used to measure the bursting strength and pressure resistance of tubes, pipes, and flexible packaging materials. It evaluates how much internal pressure a tube can withstand before it fails, helping manufacturers verify quality, durability, and safety standards. This tester is widely used across industries where tube integrity is critical, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food packaging, and industrial piping.

How Does a Tube Burst Tester Work?

A Tube Burst Tester operates by gradually increasing hydraulic or pneumatic pressure inside the tube until it bursts. The system records the exact pressure point at which failure occurs. The testing cycle typically includes:

• Sample mounting – The tube is securely clamped to ensure no leakage.
• Pressure application – Controlled pressure is applied at a set rate.
• Monitoring and measurement – Sensors track real-time pressure and deformation.
• Burst detection – The device automatically stops once the tube bursts.
• Data reporting – Results such as burst pressure, strength, and failure mode are stored for analysis.

This process provides accurate and repeatable data for quality control and product development.

What Are the Benefits of a Tube Burst Tester?

Ensures product safety and reliability by identifying weak points before products reach customers.

• Improves manufacturing quality through consistent, data-driven inspection.
• Reduces material waste and production cost by helping optimize tube design and thickness.
• Supports compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Enhances product performance by validating the pressure tolerance of new tube formulations and materials.

Automates testing and reporting, maximizing efficiency and reducing human error.

Applications

A Tube Burst Tester is used in a wide range of industries, including:

• Pharmaceuticals: Testing collapsible tubes, ointment tubes, and medical pipettes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Evaluating lotion tubes, toothpaste tubes, and cosmetic packaging.
• Food & Beverage: Ensuring the strength of condiment tubes and flexible packaging.
• Industrial & Engineering: Verifying burst pressure of rubber hoses, plastic pipes, and tubing for hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
• Research & Development: Material testing, design validation, and formulation comparison.
