Using the Tool - Crimping Version
The cycle button must be held down until the crimp is complete. If the switch is released early the
crimper will retract and show an error.
Adjust the crimper setting for satisfactory form and tightness.
Note:
Crimping the same vial two times will not generally give the same results and sometimes will
result in vial breakage.
Special considerations for 20 mm Headspace vials. It is common practice to use the “twist test” to
check headspace vials for satisfactory crimps. Many sealing systems hold pressure perfectly well so
long as the seal is well compressed.
