Series CTA Cap Torque Testers present a simple, accurate, and economical solution for manual cap torque testing. These cap torque testers are ideal for lab or production use for closure manufacturers, bottlers, food and beverage companies, and others. The cap torque tester captures peak readings for application and removal torques. Data output via RS-232 and Mitutoyo enable reporting and analysis of test data via PC or other data collector. Standard adjustable posts effectively grip a broad range of container shapes and sizes. Optional flat jaws and adjustable jaws are available for unique samples. Innovative mechanical overload protection provides peace of mind. The CTA cap torque tester features an aluminum housing, rugged construction and close attention to engineering you'd expect from Mark-10.

The testers include MESURTM Lite data acquisition software. MESURTM Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
