Chatillon 01-2671 2 Cylinder Probes, 2

110 lb capacity, 2 diameter.

The principle of the cylindrical probe is that as the probe is forced into the specimen, a shearing force action causes the sample to deform or rupture. The result curve showing load resulting from deformation.

Applications: Cylindrical probes have traditionally been used as general purpose compression probes and primarily for applying a deformation to a gel structure to determine the gel strength and elasticity. The Bloom value is a recognised standard for quoting gel structure strength
