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
