Impact Tester for Glass Bottles

Glass bottles are more prone to breakage as compared to PET bottles. Thus, you need to test their impact resistance strength in order to make sure that these bottles will be fit for their intended use. For testing the impact strength of these glass bottles, you can easily make use of the Presto impact resistance tester. This is one of the amazing testing instruments that will help you determine the impact resistance of the glass products such as containers, bottles, windshields, etc. This test is performed to ensure that the glass products are robust enough to withstand harsh working conditions. The impact tester for glass bottles offered by Presto is a type of testing equipment that is used for creating a reproducible force which further helps in determining the impact resistance of the glass bottles and containers.

Presto impact resistance tester will produce a reproducible strength that will help to evaluate the impact resistance of glass bottles or containers. You can easily make use of this testing instrument on products like cosmetic glass bottles and perfumes, food packaging bottles, and the glassware used for various trading purposes like stemware. This testing instrument will measure the impact of each item under a particular force until the specimen will get ruptured. This testing instrument will consist of a solid base stand with a guide tube support. The guide tube has a slot that directs a weight that slides up and down with the PENDULUM that fits into the weight. Graduations are marked along the slot to facilitate reading where the weight is dropped. The weights have built-in steel balls that provide different geometrical configurations. In order to limit the indentation depth of the falling weight, distance rings of different thicknesses can be fitted. Bottle Impact tester has gained wide acceptance as a means of testing the Bottles. It is also used to establish quality standards for impact surface damage and penetration of many construction materials such as plastics, resins, fiberglass, sheet metals, plywood, etc. when it is subjected to a deformation caused by a falling weight, dropped under standard conditions.

The main purpose of using an impact tester for bottles is to test the resistance capability of glass bottles and jars to break. Test of the ability of a material to withstand impact, used by engineers to predict its behavior under actual conditions. . Many materials fail suddenly under the impact, at flaws, cracks, or notches. The most common impact tests use a swinging pendulum to strike a notched bar; heights before and after impact are used to compute the energy required to fracture the bar. 

This testing instrument by Presto has been designed in accordance with industry standards and requires minimum maintenance. Thus, if you are working in the glass bottles manufacturing industry then this testing instrument is a must-have for delivering quality bottles. The main unit of this testing instrument consists of pendulum, Angle Disc, Angle pointer, Guide Rod, Safety Shield, Bottle height Adjust Knob, Base Plate, Foot Rest, Weights, and sample placement area. These components make our testing machine run smoothly and perform the test. We will also provide you with a live testing session for our customers. To get more information about this testing instrument, you can give us a call.

The quality of the product will have a direct impact on the brand and supplier’s identity. The proper testing of products will give reassurance to clients. Thus, if you are working in a glass products manufacturing factory, then we suggest you go with a Presto impact resistance tester for bottles. To operate this amazing testing instrument, you need to follow the below-mentioned steps:

• Hang the pendulum into releasing the lock.
• Put the sample on the Sample plate and adjust the clamp backside of the sample.
• Tight the weights in Pendulum as per your requirement otherwise use 2.6Nw/m weight as per standard.
• Adjust the angle as per test requirements.
• Release the pendulum from releasing the lock.

In this way, you can test the impact resistance of glass bottles. If you find any problem related to the working of this testing instrument, then you can easily give us a call. Our experts will guide you well regarding the use of this testing equipment.
