Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Torque Retention for Packages with Continuous Thread Closures Using Non-Automated (Manual) Torque Testing Equipment
This testing procedure allows for the assessment of the torque retention characteristics of container closures with continuous thread systems, regardless of their designs, materials, or manufacturing processes. It's well-suited for packaging development and engineering assessments.
The method is applicable for evaluating container closures under controlled conditions, where the applied torque is known, and there's zero applied downward force on the closure.
It involves measuring the torque retention properties using either a non-automated spring torque-meter (featuring a dial indicator or digital readout) or a torque wrench.
These procedures assess the torque retention of continuous thread closures on containers with matching finishes, considering predetermined environmental conditions over time.
Application
 | Bottled Container | Suitable for the torque value test of bottle cap locking and opening of bottled packaged food and medicine (threaded connection), such as beverage bottles, medicine bottles, etc. |
 | Vacuum Bottles and Mugs | Suitable for the torque value test of the locking and opening of the bottle caps of thermos bottles and thermos cups (threaded connection). |
 | Spout Pouches | Suitable for the torque value test of bottle cap locking and opening for nozzle packaging products. |
 | Soft Tube Products | Suitable for the torque value test of bottle cap locking and opening for tube packaging products. |
