Abstract
An apparatus and method for simulating a package pressure burst condition for calibrating a package pressure burst detector, where the package pressure burst detector is connected to a pressure tank, and the detector applies an air flow into the tank to gradually increase the tank pressure, and the tank has an output relief conduit connected to a pressure relief valve via a pressure switch, wherein the pressure relief valve is activated for a predetermined time when the pressure switch detects a preset pressure in the tank.
