Improved force detection and recording method for the press of the texture test system / Peter W. Voisey, M. Kloek.A58-4/704E-PDF

"The Texture Test System previously known as the Kramer Shear Press (Fig. 1) has been widely adopted for measuring food texture. It comprises an hydraulically activated press to operate different texture test cells. Force is detected by- a transducer that consists of a steel ring with a linear-velocity-displacement transducer to sense deflection of the ring which is proportional to force. The transducer is connected to an electronic recording system (Fig. 1). Sample deformation during testing is detected by a mechanical drive mechanism activated by the ram of the press that moves the recorder strip chart. Thus, the system records force against deformation during testing"--Introduction, page 1.
