a universal fitting enabling 360º rotation for comprehensive test configuration.
The 25mm wide grips are fitted with rubber inserts to maximise contact adhesion
with sample and are capable of holding rectangular samples up to 5mm thick.
Each grip clamps from both sides of sample with two opposing thumbscrews.
Attaches to slot in CT3 base. Does not require any base table.
TA-DSJ
DOUGH STICKINESS JIG
This fixture is used for measuring dough stickiness as a standard test; important for
processing raw dough. Requires Fixture Base Table TA-BT-KIT and TA3/1000
or TA11/1000* probe.
TA-EP EYE PENCIL TEST FIXTURE

is then assessed for firmness using a TA41 6mm Ø stainless steel probe. Includes
Dough Aerator, Dough Compactor & 2 Containers.
TA-FSF FILM SUPPORT FIXTURE
This fixture is used for puncture tests to measure the strength of fine films.
Requires Fixture Base Table TA-BT-KIT.
