ASTM D6653
Standard Title
Test Methods for Determining the Effects of High Altitude on Packaging Systems by Vacuum Method
Overview for ASTM D6653:
Rationale for ASTM D6653:
Key Points:
- Determines the ability for packaging to stay sealed to prevent product leaking during high altitude
- Evaluates the performance of the seal of packaging or products
- Consider using ASTM D4991 if testing empty rigid containers
- Consider ASTM D4169 and ASTM D7386 for multiple options to run performance tests that simulate unique distribution cycles that utilize ASTM D6653
