The Agr International Fill Height Tester (System Order Code: C540) is 100% designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States by Agr International, Inc. – the internationally recognized global benchmark in container inspection, dimensional metrology, and physical strength testing instrumentation. Purpose-built to eliminate the operational bottlenecks, labor costs, and operator variability of manual laboratory pipetting and syringe routines, the C540 provides an automated, high-precision volumetric testing instrument designed for both dedicated quality control suites and harsh plant-floor production lines.

The primary technological advancement of the Agr Fill Height Tester is its automated, one-step operational sequence: with the single touch of a button, the instrument seamlessly executes water fill, level stabilization, and simultaneous calculation of three vital packaging metrics:
1. Fill Height Volume: Precision volume corresponding to an operator-specified, user-defined target fill height.
2. Brimful Capacity: Total overflow volumetric capacity of the container.
3. Weight: High-resolution net container mass.
To preserve laboratory-grade measurement integrity regardless of shifting ambient plant floor temperatures, the instrument integrates real-time temperature sensing paired with an automated compensation algorithm that dynamically adjusts for fluid temperature and water density variances. This automated approach completely removes human bias and drastically elevates testing repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) across production shifts.

Engineered with a robust, compact "at-the-line" construction, the C540 easily accommodates a broad spectrum of container geometries—including rigid glass hollowware, lightweight PET and recycled PET (rPET) bottles, HDPE jugs, and aluminum containers. Featuring clear digital telemetry, intuitive recipe configuration, and seamless digital data connectivity for plant-wide Statistical Process Control (SPC) networks, the Agr Fill Height Tester C540 represents an essential metrological asset for modern commercial bottling facilities, container converters, and certified materials laboratories worldwide.
