FAQ's of PET bottle cap torque test Labthink Closure Testing:
Q: How does the Labthink PET bottle cap torque tester operate?
A: The device operates with a microcomputer-controlled system and a touchscreen interface, allowing users to easily adjust test speeds (5-30 rpm) and direction. Samples are secured using custom adjustable clamps, and the instrument automatically calibrates to ensure accurate torque readings.
Q: What is the process for measuring torque on PET bottle caps?
A: Place your PET bottle cap specimen in the adjustable clamps. Select test parameters on the touchscreen, including torque direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise). The instrument then applies torque, records the measurements, and stores results automatically for review and export.
Q: When should calibration be performed on the torque tester?
A: Automatic electronic calibration occurs as part of the instrument's self-check routine, typically before each test session or when prompted by the software, ensuring ongoing measurement accuracy without manual intervention.
Q: Where can test results be exported after measurement?
A: Test results can be exported via both USB and RS232 interfaces, allowing integration with computers or laboratory information management systems. The device also offers on-screen viewing and printable reports with the supplied data analysis software.
Q: What benefits does the Labthink torque tester offer?
A: Key benefits include high measurement accuracy (1% of reading), rapid response time (<200 ms), robust safety features (overload protection, emergency stop), and compliance with recognized standards (GB/T 17876, ASTM D2063).
