ABSTRACT:
A apparatus and method of testing packages containing fluid materials for failure and leakage. The apparatus includes a plurality of testing stations in which a control assembly causes a series of actuators to advance platens so as to apply a given force against the packages being tested. If one of the packages fails and leakage occurs, a sensor is triggered indicating that a particular package has failed. In response to the failure, the control assembly causes the actuator corresponding to the failed package to retract its platen so that the failed package can be inspected. The testing of the remaining packages continues without interruption.
