Advanced Features

Tamper-Evident Closure Testing

The Tornado allows you to characterize 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.

Four Capacity Models

The capacity of your digital torque tester should reflect the torque range of your

application. If it is too low, the torque transducer risks being overloaded,

whereas if it is too high, the transducer may not be sufficiently sensitive to

accurately detect small peak loads. The Tornado offers four capacity models,

a 1.5N.m option for delicate assessments, and 3N.m, 6N.m and 10N.m capacity

models for increasingly robust applications.

Pass/Fail Alerting

Tolerance bends for acceptable torque measurements may be predefined, 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.

On-board Memory

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 laer time convenient to you.
