- Air pressure testing – to detect leaks from the double seam and the can’s body
- Internal vacuum pressure measurement – to test can integrity
- Compound weight and distribution
- Sterility testing – to detect any microbiological activity
- Small scale production trials including recipe preparation, carbonation, liquid nitrogen dosage, can seaming, processing and storage under various conditions. All can be supported with sensory assessment, elemental analysis and shelf-life determination.
