RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Automated Method for Determining Instron Residual Seal Force of Glass Vial/Rubber Closure Systems Part II. 13 mm vials JF PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO PDA J Pharm Sci Technol FD Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) SP 253 OP 256 VO 49 IS 5 A1 John D. Ludwig A1 Craig W. Davis YR 1995 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/49/5/253.abstract AB Instron Residual Seal Force (IRSF) of 13 mm glass vial/rubber closure systems was determined using an Instron 4501 Materials Testing System and computerized data analysis. A series of three cap anvils varying in shape and dimensions were machined to optimize cap anvil performance. Cap anvils with spherical top surfaces and narrow internal dimensions produced uniform stress-deformation curves from which precise IRSF values were derived.
