3 Points on Torque Testing The release torque of a closure can vary between 50% and 150% of the application torque, depending on the neck and the closure. A Torque Tester in the bottling industry measures the opening and closing torque of bottle caps, screw caps and other closures. Even child-resistant caps can be measured! DEFINITION: Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. |
Measuring Heads available:
- ST-H-C: Chuck Torque Calibrator – measure the capper machine’s application torque directly on the machine, no need to disassemble the machine
- ST-H-T: Topload Force Unit – measure the capper machine’s heads’ downward spring force (top load) directly on the capper machine, without the disassembly of the chucks
- ST-H-D: Desktop Unit – allows the instrument to be used as a normal manual cap torque tester to release the closure torque on the bottles
