Tiedemann Wine Bottle Head Load Tester TWP
Tiedemann’s head load test system is coming with three different probe heads for wine bottle capsules, turning (BVS) and cork stopper. Please specify when ordering the desired closing type. Before entering the dummy in the closing process the force gauge is set for maximum load. In removal from the process, the maximum head force can be read on the bottle’s display in Newtons (N).
The height of the dummy bottle is adjustable by screw. The Tiedemann tester TWP is provided with a diameter of 76 mm and a variable height of 315 +/-20 mm. It fits to nearly all common wine bottles. The weight of the dummy is 1.8 kg.
The maximum measurable force is determined at the TWP 2 with an analog force ring dynamometer at 2 kN, The maximum load must not exceed 5 kN.
The tester TWP 5 is identical to the listed TWP 2. However, a digital force gauge will replace the analogue ring dynamometer. This provides a measurement range and a maximum load of 5 kN. The measurement error of the TWP testers is <0.5%.
