2. Introduction
Lippke 4000/4500
The Lippke 4000/4500 is an integrated package test system that measures the seal strength and
integrity of flexible, rigid or semi-rigid packages. The seal strength and integrity of the package is
measured by inflating it using compressed air.
The system consists of a console and one or more accessory kits, each of which is used to test the most
commonly used types of packages such as closed packages, open packages, screw top tubes, and IV
bags - see "3. Measurement Accessory Kits" on page 17 for details.

On 4000-models setting up and testing is done using the controls and display on the instrument front
panel whereas the 4500-models use a PC-based software application.
The entry, selection and management of all test parameters is easily and quickly accomplished and
multiple test configurations can easily be created and recalled using alphanumeric names.
Test Capabilities
The system can perform a variety of seal strength and package integrity tests.
See "4. Tests" on page 35 for detailed descriptions of each test procedure.
High Flow Valve
The device can be equipped with a High Flow Valve as an option.
The High Flow Valve enables burst testing of larger packages that are more porous.
NOTE! A higher flow results in lower sensitivity for low pressures and small packages.
When regulating the pressure it might not manage to hit the desired pressure level for a
test without overshooting.
