A Tablet Hardness Tester is a critical instrument in pharmaceutical testing, ensuring that tablets meet the required hardness levels for optimal performance and durability. The hardness of a tablet is an essential parameter for quality control, as it determines the tablet’s resistance to breaking, crushing, or chipping during handling, packaging, and transportation. Proper testing ensures that tablets will withstand these stresses without compromising their effectiveness or safety.

How It Works？

Stránka Tablet Hardness Tester works by applying a controlled force to a tablet to determine its resistance to breaking. The process involves placing the tablet in the tester’s clamp, where a force is applied at a steady rate until the tablet fractures. The tester measures the force required for the tablet to crack, which is a direct indicator of its hardness. This value is then displayed on the digital readout for easy analysis.

The tablet hardness measurement is crucial because it helps manufacturers assess whether the tablet is strong enough to withstand mechanical stresses during handling and storage. Tablets that are too hard may be difficult to disintegrate in the stomach, while tablets that are too soft may break or crush easily during shipping or use.
