Welcome to ‘Torque About Force’ an informal, and we hope you find informative look at how the measurement of force and torque affects our life from day to day.

As consumers we typically press, push, open, tear, twist, and unscrew dozens of items in any given day. From pushing open our front doors in the morning, turning our car steering wheels on our daily commute to tapping our computer keypads at work. We tear open a snack packet at lunch, pop the cork on a good bottle of wine and press the speed dial button on our latest touch screen phone for a chat with our friends at the end of our working day.

We all apply force in our every day life!

Have a read and let us know what you think. We look forward to reading your responses.

Thank you for visiting ‘Torque About Force’.

Watch Our New Top-Load Testing Video

Our new video offers step-by-step instruction on how to use the MultiTest-xt touch-screen top-load tester.

It shows just how easy it is to carry out top-load tests on bottles with this new testing system from Mecmesin.

Top-load testing’s important because during filling, capping and stacking, containers can be subjected to considerable vertical loading which causes loss of strength and eventual collapse.

The video shows how simple it is to load a bottle and clamp it into place. An icon is then selected on the touch-screen, the test method is chosen and one button launches the test. The touch-screen displays an easy-to-read overall “pass” or “fail” result. The results or raw data can then be exported directly to Microsoft Excel.

There’s a vented compression plate which allows air to escape during compression and bottle height can be measured at the same time.

A batch of ten bottles can be tested in about two minutes.
