The HPE Fff fruit penetrometer is designed for non-destructive hardness testing of fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. A spring-loaded outer sleeve assists the operator in applying the correct pressure to achieve repeatable results. Interchangeable anvils allow for fast and accurate measurement on common applications including peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, tomatoes, strawberries, apples, avocados, kohlrabi, carrots, cucumbers, radish, and more. A built-in timer allows the operator to record the measured value after 3 seconds of contact per industry standards. The timer is adjustable as desired.
HPE-III-Fff standard features include a Large LCD display, USB output, and a patented hand grip for achieving correct measuring angle and pressure.
