Fatigue test for flip-top caps.

Fatigue test for flip-top caps.

(OP)
Dear colleagues,
Does anybody have specs for fatigue tests used in flip-top caps?
I am interested in how to define the suitable number of clycles for the tests.

Thanks in advanced,

Cido

No, I suspect that it's more like this that aprodsilva is thinking about:

ornerynorsk, you know that you could have simply EDITED your original post rather than posting a completely new one.

RE: Fatigue test for flip-top caps.

Thanks John. I left the original link as it is somewhat relevant. Light workload today, I had electrons to spare so I didn't mind squandering a few.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

JohnRBaker's pic is what I'm talking about, thanks.
I didn't find the information in the link (packaging_brochure).

RE: Fatigue test for flip-top caps.

Yes, but it was at least linked in lower case letters. They use less pixels, and weigh less, so the email is faster. 8<)

Seriously, is there a fatigue limit on aluminum can pop-tops pry-bars?

racookpe - I've never tried to reseal one - always drink it all in one sitting.
