Abstract: An accessory for coupling a torque measuring device to a container cap, especially a smooth sided closure. The accessory includes two clamp elements movably coupled together by a threaded rod so the clamps can be forced into frictional engagement with a cap. A mount block is included for coupling the torque measuring device to the clamps so cap closing torque can be measured using an inexpensive and easily used device. This device will be especially useful for laboratories, fillers and shippers of containers that have been closed with a cap having a certain amount of closure torque so the user can demonstrate to DOT that the closing torque is in the proper range.

Abstract: A forming fabric having a set of paper side warp yarns, which interlace with both a set of paper side weft yarns and a set of binder wefts and a set of machine side warp yarns which interlace with a set of machine side weft yarns and the set of binder weft yarns, whereby the binder weft yarns are disposed in groups of at least two, and whereby both binder weft yarns of at least one binder group, in total, form fewer knuckles over the paper side warp yarns than the paper side weft yarns.
