The fracture strength of glass products is strongly influenced by internal stresses when subjected to mechanical loads or severe temperature fluctuations. For pharmaceutical primary packaging made of glass, such as vials, syringes and ampoules, continuous testing and monitoring of residual stresses is therefore an important part of quality control – both during production at glass suppliers and as incoming inspection in the pharmaceutical industry.
The StrainScope Pharma, developed specifically for this measuring task, delivers objective and precise measurement results. An automatic device rotates the test specimen so that the maximum values of the residual stresses can be identified reliably and reproducibly - in just a few seconds.
