CET-1
CET-1 — cork extraction/insertion force tester for caps and closures, meeting the cork-extraction standard.
What is the primary function of the CET-1 Cork Extraction Tester?
The CET-1 measures the force required to insert or extract closures, primarily wine corks, from bottle necks, providing a repeatable benchmark for cork quality and insertion standards.
How does the CET-1 ensure test repeatability?
The CET-1 uses a lever mechanism that standardizes the traction and compression force applied during each test, eliminating variability caused by differences between operators.
What closure types can the CET-1 test beyond wine corks?
The CET-1 accepts a range of adapters for different closure types, making it applicable to synthetic stoppers and other bottle closures. The CET-1 complies with standard test methods for cork extraction.
