Aluminum Bottle CAP Torque Test
Torque is the rotational force applied during cap application or removal from a alumiunm bottle. When applying a closure to a aluminum bottle it is important to utilize the correct amount of torque to ensure a proper seal. Ideally, torque should be evenly distributed throughout the closure. Myth: The tighter you apply a closure the less likely the chance the product in the container is going to leak. Fact: Applying too much pressure to a closure can actually increase the chances of product leakage. Over-torquing may cause some points on the cap to have more pressure then others, which could result in an improper seal. If the cap is applied…
