Place the measuring cup steadily on the electronic scale, reset to zero, and spray liquid into the container, with the weight of the sprayed liquid divided by the number of times sprayed=the amount sprayed; The spray amount allows a deviation of ± 15% for a single shot, and a deviation of 5-10% for the average value. (The spraying amount is based on the type of pump selected by the customer for sealing the sample or the customer’s clear requirements as a reference)
4. Number of spraying starts
Fill the bottle with 3/4 colored water or lotion, press the pump head cap evenly with the bottle locking teeth, spray no more than 8 times (colored water) or 10 times (lotion) for the first time, or seal the sample according to the specific evaluation standards;
5. Bottle capacity
Place the product to be tested smoothly on the electronic scale, reset to zero, pour water into the container, and use the data displayed on the electronic scale as the test volume. The test data must meet the design requirements within the scope
6. Vacuum bottle and matching requirements
A. Fit with piston
Sealing test: After the product is naturally cooled for 4 hours, the piston and tube body are assembled and filled with water. After being left for 4 hours, there is a sense of resistance and no water leakage.
Extrusion test: After 4 hours of storage, cooperate with the pump to perform an extrusion test until the contents are completely squeezed and the piston can move up to the top.
B. Matching with pump head
The press and spray test should have a smooth feel without any obstruction;
C. Match with bottle cap
The cap rotates smoothly with the thread of the bottle body, without any jamming phenomenon;
The outer cover and inner cover should be assembled in place without any tilting or improper assembly;
The inner cover does not fall off during the tensile test with an axial force of ≥ 30N;
The gasket shall not fall off when subjected to a tensile force of not less than 1N;
After the specification outer cover is matched with the thread of the corresponding bottle body, the gap is 0.1-0.8mm
Aluminum oxide parts are assembled with corresponding caps and bottle bodies, and the tensile force is ≥ 50N after 24 hours of dry solidification;

Acceptance method reference

1. Appearance

Inspection environment: 100W cold white fluorescent lamp, with the light source 50~55 cm away from the surface of the tested object (with an illumination of 500~550 LUX). The distance between the surface of the tested object and the eyes: 30~35 cm. The angle between the line of sight and the surface of the tested object: 45 ± 15 °. Inspection time: ≤ 12 seconds. Inspectors with naked or corrected vision above 1.0 and no color blindness

Size: measure the sample with a ruler or a Vernier scale with an accuracy of 0.02mm and record the value.

Weight: Use an electronic scale with a graduation value of 0.01g to weigh the sample and record the value.

Capacity: weigh the sample on an electronic scale with a graduation value of 0.01g, remove the gross weight of the bottle, inject tap water into the Vial to the full mouth and record the volume conversion value (directly inject paste or convert the density of water and paste when necessary).

2. Sealing measurement

Fill a container (such as a bottle) with 3/4 of colored water (60-80% colored water); Then, match the pump head, sealing plug, sealing cover and other related accessories, and tighten the pump head or sealing cover according to the standard; Place the sample on its side and upside down in a tray (with a piece of white paper pre placed on the tray) and place it in a vacuum drying oven; Lock the isolation door of the vacuum drying oven, start the vacuum drying oven, and vacuum to -0.06Mpa for 5 minutes; Then close the vacuum drying oven and open the isolation door of the vacuum drying oven; Take out the sample and observe the white paper on the tray and the surface of the sample for any water stains; After taking out the sample, place it directly on the experimental bench and gently tap the pump head/sealing cover a few times; Wait for 5 seconds and slowly unscrew (to prevent colored water from being brought out when twisting the pump head/sealing cover, which may cause misjudgment), and observe for colorless water outside the sealing area of the sample.

Special requirements: If the customer requests a vacuum leakage test under certain high temperature conditions, they only need to set the temperature of the vacuum drying oven to meet this condition and follow steps 4.1 to 4.5. When the negative pressure conditions (negative pressure value/holding time) of the vacuum leakage test are different from those of the customer, please test according to the negative pressure conditions of the vacuum leakage test finally confirmed with the customer

Visually inspect the sealed area of the sample for colorless water, which is considered qualified.

Visually inspect the sealed area of the sample for colorless water, and colored water is considered unqualified.

If the color water outside the piston sealing area inside the container exceeds the second sealing area (lower edge of the piston), it is considered unqualified. If it exceeds the first sealing area (upper edge of the piston), the color water area will be determined based on the degree.

3. Low temperature testing requirements:

The vacuum bottle and lotion bottle filled with clean water (the particle size of insoluble matter shall not be greater than 0.002mm) shall be put into the refrigerator at -10 ° C~-15 ° C, and taken out after 24h. After recovery at room temperature for 2 hours, the test shall be free of cracks, deformation, discoloration, paste leakage, water leakage, etc.

4. High temperature test requirements

The vacuum bottle and lotion bottle filled with clean water (the particle size of insoluble matter shall not be greater than 0.002mm) shall be put into the incubator within+50 ° C ± 2 ° C, taken out after 24h, and tested to be free of cracks, deformation, discoloration, paste leakage, water leakage and other phenomena after 2 hours of recovery at room temperature.
