    Calibration of Hardness Tester

    Learn how to verify the performance of Hardness Tester used to check the hardness of tablets.

    PROCEDURE

    • Take out the force gauge to be calibrated and hold vertically up. 
    • Adjust the zero on the force gauge. 
    • Standard Weights are then applied to the hook of force gauge and measure the tension of the spring on the force gauge. 
    • When 1 kg of standard weight is applied, scale on the force gauge should also show 1 kg tension produced from the initial point where the pointer is adjusted. 
    • Adjust the zero on the force gauge again. 
    • Follow the same procedure for other weights. 
    • The test to be carried out for 1.0 kg, 2.0 kg, 5.0 kg, 10.0 kg, 20.0 kg & 30.0 kg standard weights.
