Abstract: According to one embodiment described herein, the forces of a shrink film may be measured. The method of measuring the forces may include providing a shrink film processing unit and a testing vehicle moveable within the shrink film processing unit, positioning a shrink film around the testing vehicle, processing the wrapped testing vehicle by shrinking the shrink film around the testing vehicle as the testing vehicle moves through the shrink film processing unit, and measuring the forces applied by the shrink film on the testing vehicle with one or more force sensors at multiple separate sensor positions on the exterior of the testing vehicle during processing, after processing, or both.
