ST-S3 Torque Tester Demo CR Cap Tightening Application

In this application the ST-S3 torque tester is used to tighten caps to a setpoint (19 lbf.in). The clamping block concept demonstrated in the movie has a big advantage to any other clamping styles: it allows the container to float when a loose cap is tightened on a container. (Without this “floating” feature -- depending on the thread pitch, materials and test type -- considerable amount of friction may be introduced in the torque measurement. Please note, this type of clamping device is not compatible round containers.
