Testing Packaging Integrity

By Leonard Thibodeau, Texture Product Manager, Brookfield Engineering

At Brookfield Engineering we are frequently sent samples for testing of their rheological properties. Viscosity is, after all, our traditional role in instrumentation. In recent years Brookfield has introduced a complimentary instrument called a texture analyzer. A texture analyzer is a small compression and tension tester that is often used for food items, cosmetics and other consumer products.
