Description
The SCT-PLC Stress Cracking Tester assesses the stress-crack resistance of PET packaging, mainly blown bottles for carbonated drinks. Bottles are pressurized and their bases immersed in a caustic soda (aqueous sodium hydroxide) solution inside a safety enclosure, so their long-term ageing can be estimated.

· Mini printer
· Mufti positions

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SCT-PLC stress cracking tester?
The SCT-PLC tests stress-crack resistance of PET packaging, mainly blow-molded carbonated-beverage bottles, by pressurizing bottles while their base is immersed in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution inside a secure enclosure to assess long-term aging behavior.
How many test stations does the SCT-PLC support?
The SCT-PLC supports multiple stations (consult AT2E for the desired number), with each station individually controllable and automatic pressure adjustment during the test.
What test parameters and solution does the SCT-PLC use?
The SCT-PLC tests at a configurable pressure of 0 to 6 bar with 0.01 bar resolution, using a 0.200% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, with an adjustable hold time from 0 to 200 minutes.
What safety features does the SCT-PLC include?
The SCT-PLC improves operator safety through a stainless-steel chassis with anti-corrosion structure; an explosion-resistant viewing window for clear test visualization; and a fully enclosed secure assembly with automatic filling and PLC-controlled touchscreen operation.
