Compliance and Versatile ApplicationComplying with ASTM and ISO standards, this torque tester suits quality assurance in laboratories and manufacturing facilities alike. Its semi-automatic design and tabletop mounting make integration simple, while easy calibration guarantees consistent results. With its adaptable clamping system, the equipment accommodates a broad spectrum of cap sizes and shapes.
FAQ's of Torque Testing of lids and screw caps:
Q: How does the torque testing machine measure the opening or closing torque of screw caps and lids?
A: The machine uses self-centering adjustable clamps to secure the specimen. By selecting the rotational direction (CW/CCW) and setting the desired speed (5-50 rpm), it applies torque to the cap or lid and records the required force to open or close. The results are displayed digitally and stored in memory for analysis.
Q: What are the benefits of using this equipment in laboratory or industrial settings?
A: This tester provides highly accurate measurements (1% of reading) and quick results, enhancing quality control and compliance with ASTM and ISO standards. Its robust materials, dust and splash resistance, and comprehensive data management make it ideal for repeated industrial or laboratory testing.
Q: When should torque testing be conducted on screw caps and lids?
A: Torque testing is recommended during product development, quality control, and ongoing production to ensure caps and lids meet required specifications for secure closure, consumer safety, and compliance with industry standards.
Q: Where can the machine be installed for operation?
A: The equipment is designed for tabletop mounting and can be installed in laboratories, quality control departments, and manufacturing lines requiring torque measurement of caps and lids within its specimen size and capacity limits.
Q: What is the process for calibrating the torque testing machine?
A: Calibration is performed either externally or guided by the integrated software. This ensures continued precision in measurement, with the process involving standard weights or calibration tools according to the ASTM/ISO protocol specified in the user manual.
Q: How do I export test data from the machine?
A: Test results are easily exported using the built-in USB or RS232 interface. This allows users to transfer up to 500 stored results to a computer or printer for further analysis, recordkeeping, and quality documentation.
Q: What sizes and types of specimens can the tester accommodate?
A: The machine is compatible with screw caps and lids ranging from 10 mm to 200 mm in diameter, weighing up to 50 kgf.cm, covering a broad spectrum of packaging applications for various industries.
