Texture Analysis in action: the Multiple Pea Test Rig

The MULTIPLE PEA TEST RIG (HDP/MPT*) 

This rig measures the force to simultaneously penetrate up to 18 samples.

The insert has 18 indentations surrounding a cone which allows the samples to easily locate into the test positions.

Puncture strength and penetration force are measured and the penetration distance set so that the probes penetrate completely through the sample.
