During the life cycle of a screw closure, there
are a number of factors where the
performance of the closure is influenced by a
particular torque value:
Filling / sealing
Storage & distribution
First opening
Use, reseal and re-use
In addition to torque generally associated
with screw closures (eg application and
removal torque), closure development areas
such as tamper-evident seals, or child-
resistance have increased the range of
torque which need to be measured.
Technical Standards
There are a number of International
Standards which specify equipment and test
procedure for evaluating closure torques
and the ability of closures to retain torque
e.g. ASTM D3192, ASTM D3474, ASTM
D2063, ASTM D3198.
Mecmesin has unrivalled experience in
providing affordable solutions for torque
measurement applications. The range of
products extend from simple manually
operated instruments, through to
sophisticated computer-controlled systems.
Orbis Manual Closure Torque Tester
NEW
PRODUC
T
The new Orbis follows in the footsteps of its predecessor the Tornado with styling that is both
practical and aesthetically pleasing but designed for purpose.
As a low cost digital torque tester, the Orbis covers the testing range from 0 to 6Nm. It has been
designed for ease of use with a splash-proof, wipe-clean housing and fitted with a universal accessory to
suit containers ranging from 10-160mm diameter. The universal accessory can be easily removed to allow
fitting of dedicated sample holders. Data may be output in RS232, Mitutoyo and analogue formats, for con-
nection to PC or printer so that results can be easily stored.
The Orbis is supplied with a calibration certificate traceable to UK national standards.
Benefits include:
High accuracy
Low cost
Splash proof with top plate drip tray
Low friction runners
Stainless Steel lead screw
Peak hold facility
Mains / Battery-powered with user
settable auto off feature
Data output for
easy recording of results
All common units of measurement
Direct unit conversion
Improved portability through the introduction of moulded carry handle and light weight
design
High-speed data acquisition and display update rate (minimising operator variability)
Accepts samples from 10 to 160mm diameter
