Top-load testing is the method used to simulate and measure the force exerted on packaging containers during production, filling, capping, storage, and transport. The testing is used as a quality control parameter and is typically performed on plastic containers, metal cans, glass jars, and cardboard boxes.
Even though there are a myriad of sizes and shapes of containers, the topload test procedure still applies the same principles to determine:
- The force when the container is compressed to a certain displacement
- The deflection when the container is compressed to a known force
- The point of deformation or failure when a container is compressed
This live webinar will address all three types of tests using a motorized topload tester.
What You’ll Learn in the Webinar and Live Demonstration:
-Overview of top load testing
- Selecting test fixtures – vented versus non-vented compression plates
- Setting up top load test
- Measuring peak force, peak deflection, and force at failure
- Establishing pass/fail criteria
- Troubleshooting tester and software errors
- Factors that affect repeatability and consistency
