Crimping Tool, for 20mm, Pressure Relief, Aluminum Headspace Caps. Black handles. Hex adjustment key included. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
The 95025‑CRIMP‑F Manual Crimping Tool is a precision sealing tool specifically designed for 20 mm pressure‑relief (tear‑off) aluminum headspace caps. Engineered for consistency and durability, this crimper features a chemical‑resistant coating and hardened alloy jaws, ensuring long service life in demanding laboratory environments.
Unlike standard cap crimpers, this tool is optimized for pressure‑relief seals, which require controlled deformation to maintain both sealing integrity and proper venting performance. The adjustable design allows users to achieve repeatable, high‑quality crimps without damaging the cap or compromising its functional design.
The crimp height is precisely controlled by adjusting the pressure block in the crimping head using the included hex key. This ensures proper compression across different vial and cap tolerances. Additionally, the maximum crimping pressure can be fine‑tuned via an adjustment screw in the handle, allowing operators to apply consistent, controlled force.
This tool is recommended for aluminum pressure‑relief (tear‑off) caps, and is not intended for all‑steel crimp caps, which require different tooling characteristics.
Why Use a Dedicated Pressure‑Relief Cap Crimper?
Pressure‑relief caps are designed to:
Vent safely under pressure
Maintain controlled sealing conditions
Prevent vial rupture during analysis
Improper crimping can result in:
Poor venting performance
Seal failure or leakage
Over‑compression of the cap
Inconsistent analytical results
The 95025‑CRIMP‑F tool ensures:
Controlled, consistent crimp geometry
Proper function of tear‑off seals
Reliable headspace and GC performance
Reduced risk of sample loss or rework
