SCT-ECO
Stress Crack Tester for PET Bottle Bases
The SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester determines the stress crack resistance of blow-molded PET carbonated soft drink bottles by exposing the base to a sodium hydroxide solution under controlled conditions. Its electricity-free, multi-position design (up to 12 positions) estimates long-term bottle base durability.
Stress Crack Tester for PET Bottle Bases
The AT2E SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester is designed to test the internal stress in a bottle base and determine the stress crack resistance of blow-moulded PET carbonated soft drink bottles, by measuring the propensity for base cracking upon exposure to an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution under a controlled environment — estimating the long-term behaviour of bottles in the field.
Key Features
- Multi-position design (up to 12 positions) for more convenient, efficient testing.
- High-quality stainless steel frame — safe and durable.
- Superior controlling components ensure accuracy and durability.
- Flexible position selection — each position can be enabled independently (1 to 12) to suit your test requirements.
- Suitable for testing various bottle sizes.
- Fully mechanical design, electricity-free — more compatible and adaptable to different working environments.
Applications
Essential for PET bottle manufacturers needing to verify base stress crack resistance ahead of production — a controlled, repeatable method for predicting how bottle bases will hold up over their service life.
