Automated Inspection and Dye Ingress Testing Results for Vials That Had Experienced Lensing Crack Replication Damage
Glass Type | Automated Inspection Results | Dye Ingress Testing | |
---|---|---|---|
Quantity Tested | Percent Leaking | ||
Borosilicate | 26% Accepted | 17 | 35% |
74% Rejected | 33 | 88% | |
Strengthened Aluminosilicate | 100% Accepted | 50 | 0% |
0% Rejected | 0 | 0% |
The automated inspection rejected 74% of the damaged borosilicate vials, 88% of which leaked in dye ingress testing. Of the 26% damaged borosilicate vials that were accepted, 35% of them leaked in dye ingress testing. While the strengthened aluminosilicate population experienced the same damage replication event, 100% of the vials were accepted by the automated inspection equipment and none of the vials leaked.
