Hardness test equipment PTB 330

The 5-in-1 tablet testing instrument PTB 330 is a dual test mode instrument to measure five different parameters of one sample. Hardness, diameter (or length), thickness, width and the weight of tablets can be determined here. Using the unique fingerprint sensor, logging into the instrument is easier and more secure than ever before. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP and USP Pharmacopoeia. Measurement of 5 different parameters PTB 330 features one testing station to determine the thickness, width, diameter (or length) and the hardness of tablets. Furthermore, PTB 330 allows connecting a METTLER TOLEDO or Sartorius analytical balance to measure the weight of the samples as well. PTB 330 offer two modes for the weight measurement: either weigh each sample individually, before placing them in the testing station or weigh all samples together and calculate the average weight.The bottom piece of the test station is switchable. It can be replaced with a version featuring a groove for an optimum positioning of tablets and oblongs which tend to move during the test procedure. The measuring units can be selected from mm or Inch and KP (Kilopond), N (Newton) or Sc (Strong Cobb). When running a test, you first choose the approximate tablet shape (round, oblong or capsule). Afterwards enter the nominal values or directly start a test without entering this information. Just enter the batch number and start the test. A method-based test includes the option as well to choose the tablet shape and to enter the nominal values first, but also offers the option to “learn” the parameters instead of entering the nominal values.
