The tester is used to measure the hardness of most kind fruits such as apple, pear, strawberry, grape, large/hard fruits, small/soft fruits. It is suitable for the fruit scientific research department, fruit company, fruit farm, agriculture colleges and universities to improve the fruit quality, the harvest storage, the product transportation... by the fruits' hardness. The useful tester to judge fruit's mature degree.
--The hardness of Fruit can express by the unit area ( S ) could undertake the pressure of dynamometer ( N) , their specific value is just as the hardness ( P ). P = N / S
P = Hardness value of fruit ( Kg/cm^2 )
N = Pressure of dynamometer ( N, Kg, LB )
S = Area of pressure ( m^2, cm^2 )
