These ampoules must meet strict safety and quality standards to ensure sterile conditions and break integrity. One of the essential performance indicators is the <strong>breaking force<\/strong>, which determines the ease and safety of ampoule opening during medical procedures.<br>This article outlines the standardized testing process for sodium chloride ampoules based on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/55920.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ISO 9187-1:2010<\/a><\/strong>, focusing on the practical use of a <strong>break force tester machine<\/strong> to ensure conformity, product safety, and operational efficiency.

ISO 9187-1 outlines strict parameters to assess this property.<br>According to <strong>Clause 6<\/strong> of ISO 9187-1, ampoules must be provided with a predetermined breaking point (e.g., ceramic ring or colored dot), and the force applied must follow a standardized method.<br>Key criteria include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Breaking force values must conform to <strong>Table 2 of ISO 9187-1<\/strong><br>The angle of applied force must be <strong>90\u00b0 to the ampoule axis<\/strong><br>Testing must be conducted under <strong>controlled temperature conditions<\/strong> (20\u00b0C \u00b1 5\u00b0C)<br>Testing equipment must have <strong>calibrated load cells with 200 N capacity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-1f1a877\" id=\"breaking-force-tester-machine-for-sodium-chloride-ampoules\" data-block-id=\"1f1a877\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Breaking Force Tester Machine for Sodium Chloride Ampoules<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use a Break Force Tester Machine?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure precision and repeatability in testing sodium chloride ampoule strength, a <strong>break force tester machine<\/strong> is indispensable.
