ASTM D2063
Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Torque Retention for Packages with Continuous Thread Closures Using Non-Automated (Manual) Torque Testing Equipment
Test Materials
Test Process
The test process involves securely placing the bottle or container in a torque tester, then applying a specified rotational force to the cap. The torque required to remove the cap is measured, typically using a torque tester. The test is repeated several times to account for variability and ensure consistent results across different sample sets.
Test Result Interpretation
Test results in ASTM D2063 are interpreted by analyzing the torque values obtained during the test. The torque force is recorded as the maximum value required to remove the cap. Higher or lower values than expected may indicate issues with cap tightness, sealing effectiveness, or material defects. Consistency in torque measurements across multiple tests is also crucial for evaluating packaging quality.
