Crimping Tool, for 11mm, Plain, Aluminum Crimp Caps. Black handles. Hex adjustment key included. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
The 9502C‑40T‑CRIMP Manual Crimping Tool is a precision sealing tool designed for 11 mm plain aluminum crimp caps, commonly used in autosampler vials for GC, LC, and HPLC applications. Built for durability and consistency, this crimper features a chemical‑resistant coating and hardened alloy jaws to provide long service life under routine laboratory use.
The tool offers precise control of crimp quality, allowing users to achieve consistent, leak‑free seals across a wide range of vial and cap combinations. The crimp height can be easily adjusted by raising or lowering the pressure block within the crimping head using the included hex key, ensuring proper fit and seal integrity.
Additionally, the maximum crimping pressure is controlled via an adjustment screw in the handle, allowing users to apply the correct force without damaging the vial, cap, or septum. This level of control helps maintain consistent sealing performance across different workflows and operators.
Why Use an Adjustable Crimping Tool for 11 mm Caps?
Improper crimping can result in:
Leaks and sample loss
Inconsistent septum compression
Poor autosampler performance
Reduced analytical reproducibility
The 9502C‑40T‑CRIMP ensures:
Consistent sealing force and geometry
Reliable vial closure for autosampler use
Reduced risk of over‑crimping or under‑crimping
Improved data quality and lab efficiency
