Particle Strength Tester

Standard

• ASTM D4179: Standard Test Method for Single-Pellet Pressure Resistance of Catalysts and Catalyst Carriers
• ASTM D6175: Standard Test Method for Radial Crush Strength of Extruded Catalyst and Catalyst Carrier Particles
• ISO 9773: Methods for Testing Catalysts – Radial Crush Strength

Product Advantages

1. Unrivaled Precision
   • Sub-micron Force Resolution: Detects forces as low as 0.001 N for fragile materials like pharmaceutical granules.
   • High-Speed Data Acquisition: 10,000 Hz sampling rate captures transient deformation events.
2. Universal Applicability
   • Tests particles from 0.1 mm to 50 mm in diameter (spherical, cylindrical, irregular shapes).
   • Multi-Mode Testing: Compression, tension, shear, and indentation modes in one platform.
3. Intelligent Automation
   • AI-powered load application adjusts speed and force in real-time to prevent sample damage.
   • Auto-Centering Fixture: Ensures perfect alignment for irregularly shaped particles.
4. User-Friendly Workflow
   • 10.1” HD touchscreen with gesture control and multilingual interface (12 languages).
   • One-Click Testing: Preprogrammed protocols for ASTM/ISO standards simplify operator training.
5. Data Integrity
   • Blockchain-secured data storage prevents tampering (compatible with 21 CFR Part 11).
   • Cloud-connected analytics for remote monitoring and collaboration.

Product Features

• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Option: Ultrasonic imaging module visualizes internal cracks without breaking samples.
• Environmental Chamber Compatibility: Temperature (-40°C to 200°C) and humidity (10%–95% RH) control.
• Dynamic Force Profiling: Programmable force ramps with sinusoidal, triangular, or custom waveforms.
• 3D Force Mapping: Scans particle surfaces to identify weak points before full testing.
• Emergency Stop System: Laser-based safety curtain halts operation upon intrusion detection.
