Mark-10 are manufacturers of force and torque measuring instruments, with their product range including force gauges, torque gauges, tensile and compression test stands and a number of different fixtures, for a complete testing solution.

The Mark-10 range is available within Australia and New Zealand from IDM Instruments.

Mark-10 has recently introduced their G1045 90° peel fixture, which can be used for a number of applications that consumers come across everyday. Such applications include opening food containers, opening medication bottles, or even personal hygiene products, all containing safety foil seals.

In this application, the safety foil seal must be peeled off prior to use. Mark-10 have designed a complete testing solution for packaging manufacturers, in trying to determine the force required to pull off these seals, while maintaining a 90° angle throughout the duration of the test.

According to the company there are many applications available with the Mark-10 test stand, equipped with force and torque gauges and fixtures.
