 The Texture Analyzer is located in room 2411 on the second floor of Elings Hall. This tool is capable of measuring virtually any physical product characteristic such as hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, gel strength, extensibility of your materials. The Texture Analyzer is composed of a load cell and a linear actuator enabling the user to measure and control force and displacement with respect to time.
-The Texture Analyzer has several fixtures that enables several material characterization testing techniques such as indentations, uni-axial compression, uni-axial extension, cyclic extension, pure shear, peel test, 3 point bending, and fiction experiments.
