ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring the squeeze force of a package includes applying a compression force to the package, and measuring the compression force as a function of volume change of the package. The compression force may be applied by placing the package in a force tester, and compressing the package with a movable crosshead. A device for measuring the squeeze force of a package containing a fluid may include a force tester and a fluid gauge, where the force tester includes a movable crosshead and a force gauge attached to the crosshead. The device may also include a holder to secure a bottle for testing.
