What is a vibration test?
Vibration testing is performed on packaging to analyze product behavior and impact on product performance under excessive vibration conditions. Vibration testing is designed to generate the various types of vibrations that packaged products are exposed to during shipping, handling and shipping. Sometimes too much vibration can cause damage as the product loses its integrity. Therefore, it is important to conduct such tests before you export packaged goods to ensure that your goods remain intact and safe during the transition period.
Why is vibration testing of packaging necessary?
When a product is manufactured in one industry and shipped to another, it is clear that it is subjected to significant vibrational forces that can compromise the quality or efficiency of the product.
Therefore, manufacturers in various industries need to ensure that their finished products can easily withstand harsh working conditions. One of the better ways to protect the quality of your products is to provide them with better packaging. Packaging also needs to be tested for durability and strength to ensure product protection during storage and transport.
Not only transportation, but sometimes products need to withstand the vibration force during use. Also in this case, the manufacturer needs to perform vibration testing on a shaking table to analyze product behavior and impact on product performance.
What does the vibration testing machine look like?
The test apparatus consisted of a hydraulic table with railings on all four sides. The equipment is designed according to international standards ASTM D999 and ASTM D4728. A separate digital control panel is also attached to the test equipment. You can place samples on the table and set the timing and speed of the vibrations to create real-time vibrations that the product faces during transport by plane, train or truck.
If you really want to protect your product from damage due to vibration, drop, compression or crushing, you should purchase specific packaging testing instruments for your testing lab to test the quality of packaging before introducing it into market.
When is a vibration test required?
Any manufacturer, distributor or importer should test the reliability of packaged products by subjecting them to vibration testing before shipping them to customers. It is always a good practice to test the quality of the goods before sending them from one place to another, which saves cost, money and effort, and ensures that the integrity of the package is better in terms of quality than finding defects later.
