| Spaghetti/Noodle Tensile Rig |
Suitable for: Only straight cooked noodles that are not thin and fragile to handle as single strands
Another test on cooked noodles uses a Spaghetti/Noodle Tensile Rig (right) which performs tension tests on samples to assess elasticity and breaking strength in tension – see the example graph and table which compare tensile properties of three noodle types (cooked to manufacturers' recommended times). These properties give another indication as to how a sample holds together upon cooking or when transported, for instance, within a ready meal.
