description A system and method for measuring integrity of flexible containers is disclosed. The system uses a low mass flow transducer to monitor the flow of fluid into the flexible container. Based on this flow rate, the existence of an orifice in the flexible container may be detected. The system also includes a second flow path to the flexible container to allow for faster fill times. Greater flow rates are achieve through the use of a second high mass flow transducer or a calibrated bypass path. These alternate paths allow greater flow rates until the flexible container is determined to be nearly full, at which point all flow passes with the low mass flow transducer.
