Torus Z308 Semi-Automatic Bench Top Dome Growth/Dome Reversal Gauge

Precise dome growth, reversal, and axial load testing 

Brought to you by Torus, our specialist testing brand, the Torus Z308 Semi-Automatic Bench Top Dome Growth/Dome Reversal Gauge is a high-precision tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of beverage can manufacturers. With its advanced capabilities, the Z308 provides accurate and reliable measurements for dome growth and dome reversal ensuring cans meet stringent performance requirements. 

The Z308 Dome Growth/Dome Reversal Gauge Measurement Features: 

Z308 Dome Growth/Dome Reversal Gauge has the following main features:  

• Dome Growth: The distance in which the component expands in length after being subjected to a specified dome growth pressure, with accuracy level of +/- 0.10 mm 
• Dome Reversal/Buckle Force: The pressure under which the component dome reverses, with accuracy level of +/- 0.05 bar 

A robust can measurement system 

The solid structure and design of our can measurement system is built to withstand the rigors of the plant environment. So, you can rely upon the long-term  accuracy of our beverage can testing technology, time and time again.  Know that when you’re measuring aluminum can dimensions, you can look forward to repeatable and reliable results.  

Gauge Features:

• Factory set industry standard flow rates 
• Selectable dome growth pressure 

Graphical beverage can test data options 

You’ll quickly get to grips with your  can buckling data using our DRT machine and its  reliable can measurement system. The color icons and simple menus provide easy navigation through the functions of the gauge – saving you time and fuss. 

Essential for comprehensive can performance analysis

Whether you operate a small-scale facility or a large manufacturing plant, consistent dome growth, reversal, and axial load testing are essential to ensure the structural integrity of your beverage cans. The Torus Z308 is built to deliver precise results, giving you the confidence that your cans are optimized for performance and safety. 

The Z308 performs two critical tests: it measures the dome growth of a can when pressure is applied and removed,  determines the maximum dome reversal pressure (the point at which the can fails under pressure) and performs axial load testing evaluating the can’s resistance to vertical compression, ensuring it can withstand stacking during storage and transportation without collapsing. These tests are vital for maintaining quality standards and reducing potential failures during production. 

Build the perfect testing environment
