Product overview
Product Specialization:MONAD has unrivalled experience in providing affordable solutions for torque measurement applications. The range of products extends from simple manually operated instruments, through to sophisticated computer-controlled systems.
Ideal for testing torque on bottle caps, closures, valves, fasteners, and other items in sizes ranging between 0.56 - 5.7 in [14 - 148 mm] in diameter. Models contain reversible jaws or movable posts to easily accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes.
In addition to torque generally associated with screw closures (eg application and removal torque), closure development areas such as tamper-evident seals, or child resistance have increased the range of torque which need to be measured.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS:
There are a number of international standards which specify equipment and test procedure for evaluting, closure torques and the ability of closures to retain torque e.g. ASTM D3192, ASTM D3474, ASTM D2063,ASTM D3198.
Features:
- Series MBT – 99 Cap Torque Testers
- Integrated torque indicator
- Economical price
- Optional data outputs
- Unique Plug & TestTM connector holds all calibration and configuration data
- Rugged Stainless steel housing
- Reversible jaws for round or rectangular containers
- Spill proof construction
- Adaptable for portable usage
- No special adapter tools required
- Precision repeatable torque measurements
- Calibration reference for “hard usage” mechanical torque wrenches
- Test reports in Excel format.
Application:
During the life cycle of a screw closure, there are a number of factors where performance of the closure is influenced by a particular torque value:
- Filling / Sealing
- Storage & distribution
- First opening
- Use, reseal and re-use
