Abstract
An apparatus for accurately measuring the force required to crush pellets of solid material. A continuously increasing and accurately known crushing force is applied to the test particle by means of rolling cylindrical metal mass of precisely known weight.
Claims3
In an apparatus for measuring the crush strength of a solid particle the combination of a counter-weighted beam hinged to a stationary base said beam being wider than it is deep, two anvils for clamping said particle between them, one of said anvils attached to said beam for applying force to said particle and other of said anvils for supporting said particle in place and a rigid rollable metal mass movable along said beam to provide an increasing crushing force to said solid particle.
