ASTM D7910

The ASTM D7910 standard provides comprehensive guidelines for testing the compression strength and performance of plastic bottle closures. This standard, developed by ASTM International, is critical in industries where packaging strength and durability are paramount, such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It ensures that closures can withstand the pressure exerted on them during packaging, transportation, and storage without losing their integrity.

ASTM D7910 focuses on testing closures under compressive loads to evaluate their resistance to deformation or damage. It defines the procedures and equipment required to measure how well closures maintain their structural integrity under stress. The aim is to ensure that even under significant force, the closures remain secure and functional, preserving the quality and safety of the product inside.

To assist manufacturers in complying with this standard, Pacorr offers the Bottle Cap Torque Tester, an essential tool that accurately measures torque while also ensuring the closure’s performance meets the requirements outlined in ASTM D7910. By integrating Pacorr’s testing equipment into their quality control processes, companies can verify that their closures not only meet the standard’s guidelines but also deliver reliable performance throughout the product’s lifecycle.
