Tornado digital torque tester with TE testing features

The Tornado allows you to characterise the two critical torque peaks associated with tamper-evident closures; slip torque; effort required to initiate movement of the cap, and bridge torque; the smaller secondary peak associated with the effort required to break the plastic bridges between the cap and the security ring.

Tolerance bands for acceptable torque measurements may be pre-defined, and pass/fail parameters established. Five independent settings can then be stored. LED indicators or an audible alarm (or both) then clearly identify samples that do not conform to your exact requirements.

•  The Tornado can store up to 500 readings in its internal memory, allowing you to perform many tests in quick succession, and then view or export the results at a later time convenient to you.
•  Clear, intuitive controls dual-purpose membrane keypad allows quick access to common functions & navigation of the advanced options menu. Features lockable units & ‘max display’ mode.

VectorPro^TM Lite connects to your test system or instrument, plotting test data directly onto your PC screen:

•  View test ‘live’ on PC screen; torque vs time
•  Perform multiple calculations e.g. peak, trough and average
•  Easily identify whether sample meets pass/fail criteria
•  Produce summary test reports with graphical traces
•  Transfer information to other packages (e.g. Microsoft® Excel or SPC packages) for further analysis

•  Clockwise and counter-clockwise measurement
•  Capacities: 1.5, 3, 6 & 10N.m (13, 26, 50 & 90 lbf.in)
