Fruit Penetrometer Hardness Tester Soft and hard fruit both can be measured with FP-503

Terminology:

Fruit firmness (P) refers to the ratio of fruit unit area (S) to the pressure(N) of the pressure spring under test.
P=N/S
P Fruit hardness (10 5 Pa or kg/cm2)
N Force exerted by a force-measuring spring on the fruit surface(N or kg)
S Fruit area of thrust surface (cm2)

Using Steps:

Before measurement: Turn the dial to align the drive pointer with the first calibration line of the dial ( calibration line 0.5) Peel the fruit about 1 cm2 .
Measurement: Hold the hardness tester in hand, make the hardness tester perpendicular to the surface of the fruit under test, press the test head into the fruit evenly, then drive the pointer to start driving the indicator to rotate,
When the test head stops at the scale line (10mm) the reading indicated by the indicator is the hardness of the fruit, and the average value is taken three times.
After measurement: Rotate the knob to reset the pointer to the initial calibration line.
