4 Steps to Test Your Aerosol Valve Performance
A reliable aerosol valve can make or break a product. From spray feel to storage safety, mọi chi tiết đều có giá trị. If you’re working with an aerosol can valve, thiết bị truyền động van, or full aerosol dispensing system, these checks keep performance tight and consistent. Hãy chia nhỏ nó một cách thực tế.
Bước chân 1: Verify Assembly Tolerance and Crimping Specifications
When testing an aerosol valve, start with how parts fit together. Poor assembly tolerance or off-spec crimping specifications often cause leaks before the product even leaves the line.
- Inspect core valve components
- Measure actuator fit
- Confirm can interface alignment
Sau đó đi sâu hơn:
- Check mounting cup dimensions
- Evaluate gasket material compression
- Đo đường kính và độ sâu uốn
Look closely at:
- ◎ Uniform curl under the cup
- ◎ No distortion at the sealing edge
If the mounting cup and gasket don’t seal cleanly, pressure loss happens fast. A well-built aerosol dispensing valve should sit tight without crushing internal parts. Tại FANXUN, tight tolerance control keeps deformation low and repeatability high.
Bước chân 2: Measure Spray Rate and Flow Characteristics
Spray performance tells you how the aerosol valve behaves in real life. Users notice it instantly.
Kiểm tra chính bao gồm:

- Discharge rate under different propellant type
- Required actuation force
Flow depends on:
- Thiết kế vòi phun
- Orifice size
- Độ nhớt của sản phẩm
Các đợt ngắn. Long holds. Sử dụng lộn ngược. Test them all.
If flow feels uneven, adjust nozzle geometry or match the valve better to formulation thickness.
Bước chân 3: Assess Leakage Rate and Pressure Rating
Pressure testing protects both brand and user. A single weak gasket seal can ruin storage stability.
Pressure Testing Reference Table
| Mục kiểm tra | Giá trị mục tiêu | Kiểm tra áp suất (thanh) | Khoảng thời gian (giờ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tỷ lệ rò rỉ | ≤0.3% wt | 6 | 24 |
