Fruit Penetrometer, GY-3 Fruits Sclerometer Hardness Tester Apple Pear 8mm 11mm probe
Description
- Fruit sclerometer (Fruit hardness Tester) GY-3 used to judge fruits’ maturity by testing hardness of fruit such as apple, pear, watermelon, banana and so on.
- It’s portable, small on volum and light on weight,display visualized values.With this instrument, the user can see the yielding of the fruit under a certain and constant press power as well as a defined measuring distance.
- It is can be used to fruit tree scientific research department, fruit company, fruit tree farm, colleges and universities, etc.
- The technician should do two measurements at the opposite sides of each fruit, e.g., at the sun-side and the shadow-side.the anvil employed for the firmness test. The anvil does not penetrate the peel of the fruit.
- The point of measurement should be plain and without any faulton the peel.The indicated measured value is a quotient.For this reason it is absolutely important that the user always note
Parameter: Model: GY-3 Scale display: 0.5-12 kg / cm 2 (x 10 5 Pa), 1-24 kg / cm 2 (x 10 5 Pa) Probe size: Φ8mm, Φ11mm Scale value: 0.1 kg / cm 2 (× 10 5 Pa), 0.2 kg / cm 2 (× 10 5 Pa) Pressing depth: 10mm Size: 140 * 60 * 30mm Weight: 1kg Features Hand-held, analog meter Light-weight, portable, includes protective carrying case On-site measurement of fruit firmness indicates maturity or ripeness Easy to read scale - trailing pointer indicates highest resistance point Plunger tip marked for accurate penetration depth Determine fruit quality during harvest, shipping, receiving,processing, storage Principle Fruit hardness refers to the fruit unit area (S) to withstand the pressure of the spring (N), their ratio is defined as the fruit hardness (P). P = N / S P-measured fruit hardness value of 105 Pa or (kg per square meter) N force force spring force on the fruit surface N Newton or (kg) S-fruit force area of square meters or (square centimeters) Instructions Before measuring: Turn the dial so that the drive pointer is aligned with the first tick line of the dial (GY-1 is the scale line 2, the GY-2 and GY-3 type are 0.5) 1 square centimeter of skin. Measurement: hand hardness tester, so that the hardness of the measured surface of the fruit, the indenter evenly pressed into the fruit, then drive the pointer to start driving instructions pointer rotation, when the pressure head to the scale line (10 mm) Indicate the pointer to indicate
