FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Common questions from QC managers, procurement officers, and R&D teams.
What is the difference between OTR and WVTR testing?
OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) measures oxygen permeation – critical for snacks, coffee, meat & pharma. WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate) measures moisture permeation – essential for dry foods, hygroscopic pharma & moisture-sensitive electronics. Flexitest supplies dedicated instruments for each, plus combination systems (C401H/C403H) that test both on a single sample mount.
Which instruments do I need for a complete food packaging QC lab?
A complete food packaging QC lab typically includes: OTR/WVTR analyzer (barrier), C660M seal strength & leak tester (integrity), MAP Headspace Gas Analyzer (MAP packs), UTM or C610H (tensile/peel/tear), MXD-02 COF tester (machine runnability), C630H heat seal tester (sealing parameters), Sartorius MA160 moisture analyser (incoming resin), and a Binder drying chamber (sample conditioning). Flexitest can design a complete turnkey lab.
What is the difference between the C630H Heat Seal Tester and the C632M Hot Tack Tester?
ASTM D882 is a standard test method for determining the tensile properties of thin plastic films with a thickness of less than 1.0 mm and is of great importance in the film packaging industry, both for quality control and research and development. It measures tensile strength, elongation at break, and tensile modulus of flexible packaging films including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and laminate films. The ISO equivalent is ISO 527-3. A Flexitest UTM with film grips performs ASTM D882 testing accurately.
Which UTM standards apply to tensile testing of metals and metallic components?
The C630H Heat Seal Tester creates seals under controlled temperature, pressure, and dwell time, and measures seal strength after cooling – giving the static seal strength and the sealing window curve. The C632M Hot Tack Tester measures seal strength while it is still hot – critical for FFS production lines where packages are handled immediately after sealing. Both are needed for complete seal qualification.
Why is Melt Flow Index (MFI) testing important in a packaging lab?
The Tinius Olsen MP1200 MFI measures how thermoplastic polymers flow under heat and pressure — qualifying incoming resin batches (PE, PP, PET, HDPE) before film extrusion, ensuring consistent film thickness, validating recycled/regrind blends, and preventing seal failures caused by incorrect polymer flow. A batch with incorrect MFI can cause film breaks, thickness variation, and poor seal quality.
Do all Flexitest instruments come with calibration certificates?
Yes. Every instrument supplied by Flexitest includes a factory calibration certificate traceable to international standards, plus method documentation for the applicable ASTM/ISO/BIS standard. AMC contracts include scheduled calibration visits. Standalone traceable calibration certificates are also available for audit purposes.
What is the delivery and installation lead time across India?
