PROCÉDÉ DE TEST DU JOINT DE CONTENANTS TRANSPORTABLES, TELS QUE DES VALISES, DES MALLES, DES ÉTUIS ET ANALOGUES

摘要

A method of testing the seal of transportable containers (A), such as suitcases, trunks, cases and the like, which form inside them, in at least one closed configuration, at least one compartment (B) to be seal tested, the method comprising the following steps: accommodating a container (A) to be tested, in the closed configuration, in a saturation chamber (2); dispensing a tracer gas in the saturation chamber (2); lowering the pressure value inside the compartment (B); waiting for a preset time, keeping the saturation chamber (2) closed; drawing an air sample from the compartment (B); and measuring the actual concentration of tracer gas in the air sample drawn from the compartment (B); thus, an actual concentration higher than a reference value, correlated to the normal concentration of tracer gas in the atmosphere, can indicate the entry of the tracer gas in the compartment (B) and a condition of at least potential defectiveness of the seal of the compartment (B) of the container (A).
