CAP-TA Cap Torque Testers
User’s Guide Thank you! Thank you for purchasing a CAP-TA Cap Torque Tester. We are confident that you will get many years of service from this product. The CAP-TA can be used to test cap torque for a number of different closure shapes and sizes, along with other types of samples. To maintain normal functioning of the tester, avoid repetitive overloads and shock loads.
