PTB 311E – Manual 3-in-1 Tablet Testing Instrument
The manual tablet testing instrument PTB 311E is a dual force mode hardness test apparatus as it
can be used for either linear force or linear speed increase while tablet hardness is tested. It offers a
multiple point validation procedure for the built-in digital load cell.
The instrument is made in strict compliance with the
Enter the nominal test information for thickness, diameter or length and hardness as well as a batch
number via the PTB 311E keyboard. Select the units to measure, mm - Inch, KP (Kilopond), N
(Newton) or Sc (Strong Cobb). Now place the sample onto the sample upright in to the Thickness Jaw
and start the test. The driven jaw will run forward, touch and force the tablet at its highest point to
measure the thickness, thereafter it reverses back so that the sample falls into horizontal position to
test its diameter (length) and immediately its hardness (tablet breaking force).
The 3 result are immediately displayed and printed to a connected dot-matrix or suitable PCL5 type
laser- or Deskjet printer. Repeat this until your series has been tested, get a full print-out including
each individual result, date, time, serial number of the instrument, batch number of the product tested,
mean value and deviations of the test series.

  • Page 2: Operating Principle

    Which Force Mode Should Be Selected? For more than 18 years all Pharma Test hardness testing instruments offer the possibility to select either linear force or linear speed increase. Linear force increase is the recommended setting as it offers the most accurate control, as the rate of increase is directly controlled by the electronic load cell used to read the force.
