此装置透过一个圆盘对样品进行挤压，藉以评估样品被挤出容器所需的压缩力。此装置适用于烘烤油脂、酱料、糊状物、凝胶和粘性液体等具有流动性的样品。This cell measures the compression force required for a piston disc to extrude a product through a standard size outlet in the base of the sample container. The complete sample container is located into a centralising insert fitted into the heavy duty platform and a piston disc is attached to the load cell using a probe adapter.Products suitable for this type of test include baking fats, sauces, pastes, gels and viscous liquids
