What do you mean by immediate removal torque?
The answer isn’t necessarily difficult, but you’re really going to want to look at a couple of items. The first piece is the immediate removal torque. We talked a bit about this in our latest webinar – immediate removal torque refers to the removal torque measured after letting the bottle relax for one minute after capping but prior to sealing.
What should my removal torque be after sealing?
The questions we don’t seem to get quite as often pertain to removal torque. That changed this week when, a curious packager asked the question what should my removal torque be after sealing? The answer isn’t necessarily difficult, but you’re really going to want to look at a couple of items. The first piece is the immediate removal torque.
What’s the standard test for application and removal torque?
Standard Test Method for Application and Removal Torque of Threaded or Lug-Style Closures Designation: D 3198 – 97 (Reapproved 2002) Standard Test Method for Application and Removal Torque of Threaded or Lug-Style Closures1
How to test the torque of a closure?
1. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the application with a given torque of a threaded or lug-style closure to a container, and measures the torque required to unscrew the closure from a container. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
What should the torque be for immediate removal?
Note: Immediate removal torque values are approximately 40-80% of application torque values. Production capping equipment should be adjusted to produce similar immediate removal torque values. *These are generally ac.cepted application torques. Specific closures may require specific application torques which differ from those listed above.
What’s the proper procedure for using a torque stick?
The thicker the torque sticks, the higher the torque to the fastener. Torque sticks are useful, but they are no substitute for final torquing using a calibrated torque wrench. The proper procedure for using a torque stick begins with hand-tightening the fasteners.
1. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the application with a given torque of a threaded or lug-style closure to a container, and measures the torque required to unscrew the closure from a container. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
What’s the best way to torque bushing bolts?
Alternately torque the bushing bolts until the sprocket/sheave and bushing tapers are completely seated together (use approx. half of the recommended bolt torque; see Table 1). Note:Do not use worn hex key wrenches. Doing so may result in a loose assembly or may damage bolts. 6.
