1” Ø Spherical Probe – plastic

Six Spherical (ball) Probes from 0.25" – 1" (6.25 – 25.4 mm) are used to measure the fracturability of crisps (which are also known as chips) and other snack products as well as indentation tests on packaging materials.

Solid materials which may be self-supporting or contained. 

• As the probe used for testing is a constant size, the dimensions of the product to be tested can vary without considerably affecting the ability to compare results. A hemispherical or spherical probe may be used to imitate a finger pressing into a product and is preferable to a cylinder when the surface of the test sample may not always be presented as flat.
