PET products are considered the best means to serve the purpose of packaging different production verticals such as chemicals, drinks, pharmaceuticals, food products, and many more. These PET products help to pack the directly consumable products safely and ensure the quality of the product. Moreover, these are easy and simple to use. The main benefit of using PET bottles is that they are safe for storing foods and other consumables. It is important for you to test the perpendicularity of bottles to make sure that the right bottles will be delivered to the customers. Thus, we at Presto have come up with one of the highest quality lab testing instruments known as the Presto perpendicularity tester for bottles.
This is one of the highest quality lab testing instruments that is helpful in measuring the uniformity of bottles so as to deliver accurate products to the customers with ease. In this blog, we are going to provide you the information about how the Presto bottle perpendicularity tester is helpful in measuring the perpendicularity of bottles with ease. So, let us get started!
Gauge the perpendicularity of PET bottles with the help of the Presto perpendicularity tester
PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is a type of plastic that is commonly used to make water and soda bottles. To create PET bottles, the plastic is first shaped into small preforms. These preforms are then placed into molds and heated until they expand and take on the shape of the mold.
The quality of the finished product depends largely on the quality of the preforms. In order to create high-quality PET bottles, manufacturers must ensure that their preforms meet strict standards. Otherwise, the bottles may be weak or prone to leaking. As a result, the most important factor in PET bottle manufacturing is to ensure that the preforms are of the highest quality. Thus, testing the perpendicularity of bottles is very important to ensure that the right products will be delivered to the customers. The Presto bottle perpendicularity testing instrument will help you to gauge the perpendicularity of PET bottles with ease.
Below we have listed the features and technical specifications of this testing instrument.
Features of Presto bottle perpendicularity tester
The perpendicularity tester for PET bottles is economically designed to make sure that the right products will be delivered to the customers without any deformities. PET bottles are used for a variety of different products, while they may all look the same, each type of product requires a specific type of bottle. In order to ensure that the bottles are perfectly perpendicular, it is essential for the manufacturers to test them thoroughly. You can easily measure the uniformity of bottles with the help of the Presto perpendicularity tester. Below we have listed the features of the Presto perpendicularity tester with ease.
- Easy and accurate readout
- Comes with Zero Tolerance
- Adjustable measurement operations
- Repeatability in test measurements of bottles/blow-molded containers
- The base plate and components are fabricated from high-grade 304 stainless steel.
- The equipment comes complete with a user manual and conformance certificate.

Steps to operate Presto perpendicularity tester
PET bottles are extensively used in different industries for the packaging of various products. The most important property that is checked for these bottles is the perpendicularity. It is very important to check this property as an incorrect value can lead to various problems like leaking of the container, incorrect stacking of the bottles, etc.
The best way to check the perpendicularity of PET bottles is by using a Bottle Perpendicularity Tester. This tester offers highly accurate testing data and helps in maintaining the quality standards of PET bottles. Presto offers the best Bottle Perpendicularity Tester that is widely used in different industries. This tester is known for its high accuracy and durable performance.
Below we have listed the steps to operate the perpendicularity tester.
- Take a filled and duly enclosed bottle that the user needs to test.
- Now mark 4 points on the bottle and adjust the gauge shaft vertically on the guide rod according to the sample height.
- Place the bottle by maintaining the center of the V-Block in such a manner that the adjusting gauge knob presses up to 1 mm.
- At this point, when the gauge presses up to 1 mm, set the digital gauge to zero.
- Now rotate the sample manually to point 2, and note the reading from the digital gauge.
- If the reading remains zero it means the sample is perfectly perpendicular and if the reading increases or decreases it means it is not perpendicular.
- At this point, when the gauge presses up to 1 mm, set the digital gauge to zero.
- Now rotate the sample manually to point 2, and note the reading from the digital gauge.
- If the reading remains zero it means the sample is perfectly perpendicular and if the reading increases or decreases it means it is not perpendicular.
In this way, you can easily test the perpendicularity of bottles with the help of the Presto bottle perpendicularity tester.
