Typical Cap Application Torque
General industry guide for continuous-thread plastic closures, from a published induction-sealer manufacturer table. Published guides differ, so always use the torque specified by your cap and liner supplier and the BPR. Removal torque measured about 24 hours after capping is often around half of the application torque.
| Cap size | Application torque (in·lb) | Application torque (N·m) |
|---|---|---|
| 24 mm | 10–16 | 1.1–1.8 N·m |
| 28 mm | 12–18 | 1.4–2.0 N·m |
| 33 mm | 15–25 | 1.7–2.8 N·m |
| 38 mm | 17–26 | 1.9–2.9 N·m |
| 43 mm | 18–27 | 2.0–3.1 N·m |
| 48 mm | 19–30 | 2.1–3.4 N·m |
| 53 mm | 21–36 | 2.4–4.1 N·m |
