Ensure Best Strength of PET Bottles

Ensure Best Strength of PET Bottles

Nowadays PET bottles are used for beverages that must be lightweight and sustainable. Carbonated soft drinks are pressurized to the 4-5 atmosphere/bar pressure range. This internal pressure can create tensile stress on the walls of the PET bottles.

The distribution of material throughout the bottle walls is important to understand and analyze. The regions of the bottle that do not have sufficient wall thickness will be weak points that create bottle damage or failure as the filled package is delivered from the plant to the consumer. PET bottles are manufactured at a large scale which is conducted in a 2-step process. To test the quality of PET products, manufacturers spend a lot of time in research and analysis of the products.

Different instruments are used to measure the thickness of a plastic material and help in locating surface corrosion or erosion from one side of a part. The general purpose Wall Thickness Gauge Digital is capable of measurement of the thickness of a variety of metallic and non-metallic material substrates such as plastics, metals, glass, and so forth.

Ultrasonic thickness measurement of PET bottles gives distinct insights into the accuracy of manufacturing products. The manufacturers can ensure that the material is uniformly distributed in the products as per the requirements and it delivers equal strength at every point.

Pacorr is a leading manufacturer and supplier of wall thickness gauge that can measure the wall thickness with efficiency and accuracy of the manufacturing process by ensuring the even distribution of the plastic material throughout the products. The thickness testing equipment is user-friendly that has a magnetic probe on one side of the test material and a small sheet target ball which is kept on the opposite side. It works on the principle method of Hall Effect and measures the distance between the probe tip and target ball.

The thickness gauge works by measuring the amount of time taken for sound to travel from the gauge through the material to the rear end of the object and back to the gauge. Utilised to check plastic material properties, thickness measurement and so forth. Being a non-destructive method, these can be made to make out with coatings, protective covers and so forth. The instrument is quite efficient to provide you with accurate results for corroded metal pipes and other equipment. Easy-to-read numerical display, intuitive color-coded input device.
