1. Introduction
General description
Dansensor® LeakPointer 3 and Dansensor® LeakPointer 3
+
are table top off-line leak
testers for Modified Atmosphere Packages (MAP).

The devices can fast and easily discover seal integrity problems on most types of modified
atmosphere packages with a minimum of 10% CO
2
in the gas mix.
The devices operate with a very simple measuring principle:

A CO
2
filled package is placed in a chamber in which a vacuum is built up. If there is a leak in
the package, the gas from the package will leak into the chamber, thus the increase in the CO
2
content can be measured.
The PackFix mechanism (available either as standard built-in or as a retrofitted option)
enables the devices to detect a leak and to calculate the leak size (according to the leak size
definitions of the Dansensor® Leak Simulation Kit).
All measurement data can be saved in the device’s database and exported for further analysis.
