Ensure The Optimum Opening Torque of Bottle Caps for Better Quality

Ensure The Optimum Opening Torque of Bottle Caps for Better Quality

PET bottles are one of the widely used options to package and store liquids such as beverages, soda, drinks, juices, and many others. As these bottles need to be transported to a variety of places, It is essential that strength and quality of the bottles is of top notch level. These bottles are subjected to a very high level of impacts and forces and hence need to be tested for their sturdiness and ruggedness using precise and accurate testing instruments (PET and Preform Testing Instruments).

One of the major aspects of PET bottle quality is the ability of the bottles to seal them. It is important that bottles are sealed properly so that there is no possibility of spillage of liquids inside the bottles. Along with proper sealing of the bottles, it also should be ensured that the caps of the bottles must be closed using the most optimum amount of torque. The torque is the radial force that is required to open or close a bottle cap. It is important that caps of bottles are closed and opened with ease. If the torque required to open the caps is too low, it may lead to self-opening of the caps causing the products inside the bottles spill. If the torque required to open the bottle caps is too high, it may cause inconvenience to the users and braking of bottles. This is why the manufacturers of PET bottles need to test the amount of torque required to open and close the caps.

The instrument that is used for testing the torque required for opening the caps of bottles is the torque tester. A torque tester is highly sensitive and precise testing instrument that gives the accurate reading of the amount of force that is applied on a bottle to open its cap. The instrument consists of 4 pegs that hold the bottles. These pegs are connected to a load sensor. When the cap of the cap of the specimen is opened, the sensor records the amount of the torque applied to the bottles and the reading is displayed on the digital display. This way, the manufacturers can ensure that the bottles they are providing to their clients are of optimum quality and require optimum torque to open. With the help of this instrument, the manufacturers not only provide the best product to the customers but also give customers a good user experience.
