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’.

Read all about it

British Plastics and Rubber magazine devotes a whole page to Mecmesin in their latest issue.  They asked us to contribute to an article in a special supplement on green issues because we are experts in reducing waste. In the article on page 67 of the September issue, we explain why testing plastics not only benefits the environment but the pocket too. We describe how top-load testing, can test packaging design and integrity to see if the amount of material used in containers like PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) can be reduced. The article featured an image of our new touch-screen top load tester - the MultiTest-xt (see below).
