Top Load Tester

Bottle Compression Tester is an efficient and easy to use equipment intended for measuring the ability of bottle to resist external compressive forces. This method describes how to determine the resistance of a bottle to compressive forces. This is accomplished by placing the bottle between two flat platens, one of which is mechanically driven to compress the bottle. A recording device is incorporated to indicate the force required to compress the bottle. The compressive forces are related to some of those exerted on bottles in stack or encountered in transportation. The method is used to compare the compressive resistance of different lots of similar bottles or to compare bottles of different grades. In addition the information gained may be used to provide an indication of the load that a particular bottle may be able to withstand in service.
