Summary:APPARATUSES FOR EVALUATING THE INTEGRITY OF A CONTAINER SEAL (22) AND METHODS OF USING SAME ARE PROVIDED. THE APPARATUSES (10) INCLUDE A SEALED CONTAINER (16) HAVING A CONDUCTIVE FLUID (17) AND A FIRST PROBE (20) THEREIN, A CONDUCTIVE SOLUTION BATH (30) HAVING A SECOND PROBE (50) THEREIN, A CONDUCTIVITY METER (48) AND A PRESSURIZED FLUID SUPPLY. A PRESSURIZED FLUID IS SUPPLIED FROM FLUID SUPPLY (39) TO AN INTERIOR OF THE SEALED CONTAINER (16) THROUGH THE FIRST PROBE (20) UNTIL THE SEAL (22) ON SEALED CONTAINER (16) RUPTURES, FIRST AND SECOND PROBES (20; 50) CREATE AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, AND THE CONDUCTIVITY METER (48) DETECTS A FLOW OF ELECTRONS BETWEEN THE TWO PROBES. IN THIS MANNER, APPARATUSES (10) OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE ARE ABLE TO QUANTIFY THE AMOUNT OF INTERNAL PRESSURE IN THE CONTAINER (16) AT THE TIME THE CONTAINER SEAL (16) RUPTURES.
