Designed to fit either the thread adapter female m3 to male 6-32 (MA385) installed under a low capacity load cell (e.g. MA412 or MA413), or the holder for spherical indenters (MA031) installed under a higher capacity load cell, this indenter can be rapidly mounted on the tester for indentation or unconfined compression of very soft samples. The 1 mm shaft portion of this indenter is designed to minimize the force vs displacement slope caused by the displacement of the solution covering the sample (Archimedes’ force) while the water level crosses that section. In particular, this indenter facilitates the automated Find Contact function to find the surface of very soft material.
- This accessory has been designed to facilitate cleaning and desinfection.
- Designed to be used in contact with physiological saline solution
- Easy to assemble and mount on the tester
