AGW Grain Hardness Tester

AGW Grain Hardness Tester

Brief Introduction:

AGW type grain hardness tester is specially used for testing of the hardness of grains (wheat, rice, etc.). The tester adopts advanced force metering technique, featured by high precision of test, and strong intuitions of instrument, high resolution, easy to operate, durable and reliable.

AGW can be subjected to test on the purchase site or test on the rotary laboratory bench. And its price is only 1/20 of the imported instrument. Applicable to the research and teaching in the agriculture sector.

Main Features:

1. Scope of pressure for hardness testing:0～200N(0～20kg);

2. Test precision:±5N(±0.5kg);

3. Resolution:0.1N(0.01kg);

4. Determination of the maximum diameter of grains: 18mm;

5. Length × width × height:140mm×100mm×250mm;

6. Gross weight: 3kg

How to use:

1. When testing the small grains, fix the grains with a clamp (preferably place vertically), then slowly add pressure on the mandrel top to move forward by rotating the handwheel, at this time, the pressure load will be displayed on the meter and reach the maximum value of indicative pressure at the time of grain crushing.

2. For re-test, press the button on the instrument dial to zero to start the next test. If the pointer does not point to zero, rotate the round dial, and begin to test when the pointer points to zero.
