Soap Bubble Volume Tester

The VITROCELL^® Puff Volume Tester, based on the principle of a soap bubble flow meter, is an essential tool for quality assurance, measuring and verifying the volume of puffs taken by a cigarette smoking machine or robot. Its simplicity provides an electronic-free, easy-to-use, and still highly accurate method to ensure compliance with smoking standards such as ISO 3308, ISO 20778, ISO 20768, and various CORESTA recommended methods.

How the Accurate Puff Volume Measurement Works: The operator tracks the movement of a soap bubble through a calibrated tube to measure the precise volume of air drawn during each puff in millilitres (mL).
