Torque Meters

Torque Meters have been built and serviced by AHP Machine and Tool Co. since 1970. They have found broad uses wherever metal lug, press twist (PT), and continuous thread closures or plastic continuous thread closures are used to form a seal on glass, plastic or metal containers. These instruments are used by production, quality control, research, packaging engineering, and sales service functions to accurately measure the torque required to loosen a closure.

These insturments are designed and constructed to assure precision and durability in normal use. Their use in production environments where hundreds of measurements can be make daily confirms their ruggedness. Design features of the torque meter include operating simplicity, versatility, easy set-up, dual dials, memory indicator, portability, operating range and accuracy.

Torque meters are warranted against defects and breakdowns in normal use for 6 months after initial purchase or after factory servicing. The torque meter should be kept clean to maintain its accuracy and increase its life. When torque meters are in heavy daily use, it is recommended that they be returned to AHP once a year to be recalibrated.
