The Film Support Rig (HDP/FSR) provides a biaxial extension approach to the measurement of burst strength of thin, film-like samples such as the increasingly popular breath strips, nori, leaf gelatine, wafer thin meats or rice paper. The sample is supported between plates which expose a circular section of the sample allowing a spherical probe to be pushed through to perform extension and elasticity measurements. During a test, the maximum force to rupture the sample (burst strength) is recorded.

The additional measurements of resilience and relaxation of a wide range of food products broadens the application of this rig, which can also assess mechanical properties of sheet packaging materials.
We can design and manufacture probes or fixtures for the TA.XTplus texture analyser that are bespoke to your sample and its specific measurement.
Once your measurement is performed, our expertise in its graphical interpretation is unparalleled. Not only can we develop the most suitable and accurate method for the testing of your sample, but we can also prepare analysis procedures that obtain the desired parameters from your curve and drop them into a spreadsheet or report designed around your requirements.
For more information on how to measure texture, please visit the Texture Analysis Properties section on our website.
The TA.XTplus texture analyser is part of a family of texture analysis instruments and equipment from Stable Micro Systems. An extensive portfolio of specialist attachments is
available to measure and analyse the textural properties of a huge range of
food products. Our technical experts
can also custom design instrument fixtures according to individual
specifications.No-one understands texture analysis like we do!
