Universal hardness tester PTB series

benchtoptabletmanual

The digital tablet hardness testing instrument PTB 302 features an integrated report printer. It is a single force mode hardness test apparatus adjusted for linear force increase while tablet hardness is tested. It offers a multiple point validation procedure for the built-in digital load cell. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP and USP Pharmacopoeia. Test Procedure Select the unit to measure, KP (Kilopond), N (Newton) or Sc (Strong Cobb), now place the sample onto the sample dish and start the test. The driven jaw will run forward, touch and force the tablet until it breaks to measure the hardness (tablet breaking force). No change of tools is required; the design of the jaws does handle most kind of tablet shapes. The result is immediately displayed and printed via the integrated report printer. Repeat this until your series has been tested; get a full print-out including each individual result and an optional block of statistics including mean value and deviations of the test series. The flexibility and the reproducibility of the results have made this and other models, like the PTB 311E series become one of the most sold tablet hardness testing instruments worldwide. By using an integrated report printer, the bench space requirements to of this instrument are even lower than other instruments from the PTB series, since no additional external printer is required. Furthermore, the report printer requires less paper than a standard printer and by this helps to preserve our precious natural resources.
