Cap Torque Tester 10 N-m: CTT-10

CTT-Series Digital Cap Torque Tester is a 10 N-m load cell capacity model designed to meet the testing requirements of capping / bottling processes in industry.

The cap torque tester is generally used in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries and is used to measure the torque force in Newton-meters (N-m) for a lid or cap to be opened or closed. The purpose of testing torque is to check to ensure that your production equipment is repeating the results required and adjust settings for higher or lower torque accordingly. 

Torque is tested for many applications to ensure usability and fit for purpose with impacts, such as with beverages, if a consumer cannot open a soft drink bottle then they are unlikely to buy that soft drink.  If a lid is too loose that it is too easy to open then that can accidentally allow the product to spill or spoil. Safety and freshness seals can also be applied and checked for integrity.

The grips are widely adjustable which mean the CTT-Series can also be used in other rotational force applications such as measurement torque of zoom and focus mechanism on camera lenses and even other,  non circular containers as used for motor oils etc.

Built with a compact and solid design the CTT-Series comes with a USB cable for data output to computer. A Bluetooth mini printer is optional for instant results printing on site. Data can be displayed numerically or as a spectral torque curve graph. 

To test with the cap torque tester you clamp the bottle or jar in the grips of the tester. As you apply force to remove the lid from the jar or bottle, the tester takes the torque measurements.  Once the bottle or jar is opened the torque is no longer transmitted through the whole object and the measurements are complete.  The tester captures peak measurements, being the highest amount of torque, as well as tracking measurements showing the different levels of torque through the motion of opening the bottle or jar.
