Thank you!
Thank you for purchasing a CAP-TA Cap Torque Tester. We are
confident that you will get many years of service from this product.
The CAP-TA can be used to test cap torque for a number of different closure shapes and sizes, along with other types of samples. To maintain normal functioning of the tester, avoid repetitive overloads and shock loads.
We hope that this User’s Guide will provide a comprehensive
explanation of the CAP-TAs operation and sufficient detail on its
specifications. However, if you have any other questions or concerns, our technical support and engineering teams will be eager to help you.
Thank you again for your purchase and happy testing!
