Testing Capabilities

The Model ST-50 benchtop torque tester is designed specifically for bottlers looking to meet ASTM standards for measuring removal torque. The ST-50 will perform full testing to protocol including release, apply, release and re-apply tests. An on-board, calibrated load cell guarantees that all application and reporting torque is accurate and consistent. Data can be captured and down loaded for recall and reference. A simple touch screen interface provide visual results for each test.
Release Torque: The ST-50 is designed to accurately measure the release torque of a cap.
Applied Torque: The ST-50 can be used as a benchtop capper, tightening the cap to a customer defined set point.
