Measure the Softness of an Egg Yolk!
Quantify the softness felt when touched.Evaluation based on Young’s Modulus.
yawasa – Softness & Elasticity Measurement System is a versatile standard model that allows the indentation depth and speed of the indenter to be adjusted according to the properties and conditions of the sample being measured.
In combination with dedicated software that can load previously measured data and reanalyze Young’s modulus by adjusting parameters, the system provides a highly capable and flexible analysis environment.
