Testing and analysis on hollow glass articles

We are an independent laboratory with equipment enabling testing on the performance of glass packaging, in particular:

• Visual inspection of defects
• Characterisation of defects (inclusions, cords, seeds and bubbles …)
• Dimensional measurements (height, parallelism, verticality, thickness of glass…)
• Measurement of end surface treatments
• Residual stress assessment (annealing, enamel)
• Compressive strength
• Internal pressure strength
• Mechanical impact strength
• Thermal shock resistance
• Glass-to-glass scratch test
• Hydrolytic resistance
• Heavy metal content and release
• Colour
• Decoration

The majority of tests are carried out in line with current national or international standards. Do not hesitate to contact us for special tests concerning all types of glass packaging, and any advice or expertise in this area.
