III.4 Probes

There are a wide range of probes available for use with the CT3 Texture Analyzer as described

in Appendix A. One should always be aware that the probe chosen will have an impact upon the

test result. Choice of a probe must be made with consideration toward the purpose of the test

and the nature of the sample.

The probes may be cleaned while attached to the CT3. Follow recommendations in Section I.8.

 Alwaysattachprobesonlyngertighttopreventthreaddamage.Donotapply

excessive upward, downward or sideways force. Damage may occur to the load cell.

Inspect a probe before use for any damage and always handle them carefully as some have sharp

points or edges. Most probes require the TA51 thread adapter to attach to the CT3. This adapter is

installedatthefactorybeforeyourinstrumentwasshipped.Afewprobesandmostaccessoryxtures

require removal of the probe adapter. Keep it in a safe place as it is needed for most probes.
