DescriptionIdeal for production-area spot checks of compression/breaking force, the TH3 series is a portable, simple-to-use tablet hardness tester. Load is applied via a multi-turn, low-friction hand wheel to give a controlled breaking force displayed on a clear LCD. The instrument offers multiple data output options and does not require routine calibration for normal production use.
TH3/200Portable unit for rapid production checks with debris collection tray and clear LCD display; suitable for tablets up to 30 mm diameter.
