TMI Tilt Tester |
Purpose
This procedure determines the angle at which a bottle will tip and fall
once the center of gravity has been overcome on tilting.
Description
A tilt test device is fitted with the appropriate surface. The test
device is then tipped until a test bottle breaks the plane of contact
because the center of gravity of the bottle has been overcome. The angle
at which this tipping occurs is considered the tilt angle. Typically,
twelve bottles are tested and the average tilt angle is determined for
the set of bottles.
