SCT-D Stress Crack Tester
For testing the stress crack resistance of multiple carbonated soft drink bottles
The AT2E SCT-D Stress Crack Tester is designed to test the internal stress in a bottle’s base and for determining the stress crack resistance of blow-molded PET carbonated soft drink bottles. By measuring the propensity for base cracking upon exposure to an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a controlled environment, the user can simulate the long-term behavior of bottles.
As per the above screenshot, during the test the bottles in the #6 and #16 positions leak, the lights of positions #6 and #16 will become green automatically, and system will stop pressurizing the corresponding positions.
Alternatively, the operator can press the position button to stop pressurizing at any point. Leak pressure value and time will be displayed below the button.
The system will also generate a data table for each test to record the test pressure of each position. In the table, positions with a green light will be displayed as “NG” with their respective leakage pressure value. A normal position will be displayed as “OK” with the predefined pressure value. The data table can also be printed out through the mini printer.
