Background

The ability of the TA.XTPlus to repeatedly measure the physical properties of very small beads is illustrated by performing resilience, relaxation, and burst tests on very small beads. Test results include strength, firmness, resilience, springiness, stiffness, and energy loss. The TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer can be customized to accurately and repeatedly test any size beaded material.
