Description

The texture analyser is a tool for determining the physical properties of various substances and materials. For example, the elasticity, adhesion and strength of a substance can be measured. Penetration, compression, TPA cycle, tension and relaxation can also be determined. The texture analyser is ideal for testing compact, flexible or self-adhesive products. A wide range of different test samples can be determined. Parameter display settings: force, speed, distance, time, sensitivity. Units: gram or Newton. Measurement modes: penetration, compression, tension, relaxation, TPA cycle. Includes PT100 probe for temperature control.
