Independent Testing
IC Consultants Ltd (part of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Imperial College, London) were commissioned to make an independent assessment of the waterproofness of the submersible Aquapac range.
The tests were carried out using a purpose-built pressure chamber.
All the cases met Aquapac's waterproof claims.
Every submersible case sealed with our patented Aquaclip® seal tested 100% waterproof to at least 0.5 bar, which is equivalent to a depth of 16.7 feet (5.1m) of water. Some tested waterproof to 2.0 bar, which is equivalent to 66.9 feet (20.4m) of water.
In-House Testing
During manufacture we batch-test the cases in our own pressure chamber for 5 minutes at 1.0 bar, which is equivalent to 33ft (10.1m) of water.
We also do a simple, manual squeeze-in-a-basin test!
StormproofTM
Our Stormproof range of non-submersible pouches and bags are sealed using an industry standard roll-seal system.
All our materials are coated with solid layers of either PU or TPU plastic, and all seams are either welded or sewn and then sealed with hot-melt tape to keep out water.
