Abstract:
A compression calibration tester comprises as its main parts, a plunger, a base, and a spring. The compression calibration tester provides a known force. This known force is used to calibrate, and ensure proper operation of a seal force testing device. The seal force testing device is used to seal containers. Typically, these containers are used to store parenteral pharmaceutical products. Testing of the residual seal force of the closure is an important step in the package development and production of parenteral pharmaceutical products. This invention is useful for ensuring that a seal force testing device is operating properly.
