ASTM D5648

The ASTM D5648 standard provides a comprehensive methodology for evaluating the torque retention characteristics of plastic closures used on bottles. Developed by ASTM International, this standard is critical in ensuring that closures maintain their effectiveness over time, preventing unwanted leaks, spills, or contamination. It is especially important in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, where packaging integrity plays a key role in product safety and shelf life.

ASTM D5648 focuses on testing the ability of plastic bottle closures to retain their applied torque under various conditions, such as long-term storage, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to different environmental factors. This helps manufacturers assess the durability and reliability of their closures, ensuring that the caps remain properly sealed during distribution and use.
