The CT3 Texture Analyzer is used to test many different types of materials. General categories are identified and examples from each are presented.
CT3 Accessories
Description
• While many CT3 accessories have multiple applications, some are particularly useful for specific industries.
• The following color coded icons are used here to identify these industries.
Texture Application
• COSMETICS
– Measure the effect of shampoos and conditioners on the combability of hair.
– Lipstick firmness is confirmed with a bending test.
– Extrusion cell characterizes physical consistency of cosmetic creams.
• SOME RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORIES
TA-DEC TA-EP TA-HCF TA-LC TA-TEF
• FOODS
– Evaluate noodle quality by stretching it with tension test.
– Snap test on cracker gives clear indication of freshness.
– Two-cycle compression test on bread slice quantifies firmness and springiness.
• SOME RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORIES
TA-DE TA-DSJ TA-FMBRA TA-JPA TA-KF TA-MP TA-PFS TA-PFS-C TA-PTF TA-SBA TA-SFF TA-TPB TA-VBJ TA-WSP and many more
• GELATIN
– Universal method for establishing the value of gelatin is via the Bloom Test which measures the physical strength of the sample using a cylinder probe.
• RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORY
TA-10
• MECHANICAL DEVICES
– The CT3 has been extensively tested with various mechanical components.
– We have solutions for o-ring force vs. compression distance, key pad button actuation force, crimping force test for wire in clamps, life cycle testing for
switches and actuators and much more.
• RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORY
TA-11 TA-DGF TA-RCA TA-SFJ TA-P-KIT2
• PACKAGING
– Tensile test on package seals determines how hard it will be to rip open.
– The force required to remove capsules from blister packaging is measured with a finger probe in compression.
• SOME RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORIES
TA-ATT TA-AVJ TA-BEC TA-DGA TA-FSF TA-GPJ TA-JPA TA-LTT TA-PF90 TA-PTF TA-SFJ TA-TSF
• PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
– The squeezing force to extrude creams and pastes is quantified using a support fixture to hold the tube in place while pressing down with a finger-shaped blade.
• RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORY
TA-TEF
• PHARMACEUTICALS
– Measure shear strength of two-part tablet or capsule using guillotine blade.
– Burst strength of capsule shell is quantified using tension test to rip the capsule apart.
– Adhesive property of tablet coating is determined with tension test.
• SOME RECOMMENDED CT3 ACCESSORIES
