Abstract
A novel device and related methods which provide manually adjustable standards and controls for quality inspection systems for filling and sealing equipment. The device provides an adjustable product height simulator which is used to calibrate and quality assurance test the performance of quality inspection systems on a filling and sealing line. The height simulation level is detectable without changing sensitivity of the quality inspection system's product level sensor. The device is readjustable for a plurality of uses, rugged for repeated multiple use, and does not degrade over time. Base and top (capping) characteristics provide further adjustable simulation comprising entrapped gas phase between the product and container cap, missing caps, and simulated container forms.
