Every aspect of the bottle, including the strength of the seal, must be carefully scrutinized to ensure that the finished product is up to standard. One important test that bottle manufacturers must perform is a torque test for bottle caps, which measures the amount of force required to remove the cap from the bottle. You can easily perform torque tests on screwed caps, threaded closures, child-resistant closures, and other related caps with the help of the Presto torque strength tester. This is one of the amazing lab testing equipment that is helpful in testing the torque needed to open or closed the bottles. Here in this blog, we are going to discuss how you can easily maintain the Presto torque tester proficiently. But before that, we will discuss how this lab testing instrument is helpful in testing the fastening of the bottle caps. So, let us get started!

How to maintain the torque tester efficiently?
A Bottle Cap Torque Tester is an accurate testing instrument that measures the amount of torque required to open or close a bottle cap. This is important because the torque applied to the cap must be enough to create a seal that is leakproof, yet not so much that the cap becomes difficult to open.
To maintain this lab testing equipment efficiently, you can follow the tips mentioned below.
- Ensure proper greasing of the guide rod in the clamping device every three months.
- While clamping the specimen, make sure that the locking pin is placed properly. This will prevent any jerk load on the torque sensor.
- The power supply provided to the machine must be free from any fluctuation.
- Ensure to turn off the power supply after the testing procedure.
- Verify the calibration of the machine every time before commencing the test procedure.
In this way, you can maintain the torque tester efficiently. To know about torque tester price, or want an online demo for this lab testing equipment, give us a call at +91-9210903903 or email us at info@prestogroup.com. Our team of technical experts will assist you with all your queries.
