Texture Test Actions
RapidTA texture analyzers cover a full range of texture tests — from hardness and springiness to adhesion — for food, cosmetics and materials R&D.
TPA (Texture Profile Analysis)
One test returns hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and more — simulating human chewing.

Compression Test
Measures mechanical response under compressive load — for hardness and springiness.
Learn More →
Adhesion Test
Measures the peak force to separate a probe from the sample surface — rating stickiness.
Learn More →
Puncture Test
Measures puncture resistance — surface hardness, fracturability and gel strength.
Learn More →
Cutting / Shear Test
Mimics teeth cutting through food — measures maximum shear force and fracture behavior.
Learn More →
Tension / Extensibility Test
Pulls the sample vertically to measure extension and breaking force — extensibility and tensile strength.
Learn More →
Bending Test
Three-point bending measures deflection and breaking force for brittle products.
Learn More →
Creep Test
Holds a constant stress and tracks slow deformation over time — viscoelastic behavior.
Learn More →
Extrusion Test
Forward, back and bulk extrusion — rating consistency, firmness and crispness.
Learn More →
Burst Test
Biaxial loading of films and sheets — burst strength and extensibility.
Learn More →
Stress Relaxation Test
Holds the probe at depth and tracks force decay over time — elastic recovery and shelf life.
